Default Nasty beat

I don't usually complain ..but this was too much...

I won my way through to the final Monte Carlo qualifier on PokerStars. A hundred in the field with two seats to MC in the EPT.. OK .. the odds aint great but...

An hour before it started my isp blocked the ports to PS, bodog and microgaming (party and crypto were fine).... so I couldn't get through. I could even email support while it was happening...

So donk of the week goes to my ISP provider "tiscali"..

Just a thought here but if your in america, they could be doing this for a reason, because of the recent bill signed its possible there gonna be blocking out these things because there obviously illegal but im pretty sure it would be impossible to keep them out but just because they accept U.S. players means that it isnt still illegal. They are based off U.S. soil so law doesnt apply to them but doesnt mean you can still gamble online if your in america.

I don't get how your ISP could just block out sites like that?! I've never heard of that before. That sucks man... Give your ISP a piece of your mind
