Throwing the towel

[TIDDLYW1NK]

WELL IN MY LAST FIVE OP66 TOURNEYS I'VE MANAGED TO SEE A TABLE IN ONLY ONE, IN THAT ONE I REACHED THE BREAK IN DECENT SHAPE ONLY TO BE FROZEN OUT AND NEVER GET BACK IN.

I'M A VERY PATIENT MAN BUT EVERYONE REACHES A LIMIT, I'M COMPETATIVE BY NATURE AND HAVE NEVER BEEN A BIG FAN OF LOSING.

IT'S NOT RIGHT TO KNOCK SOMEONE OUT OF A TOURNAMENT ONLY TO THEN HAVE ALL MY CHIPS AND THEIRS BLINDED AWAY IN MY ABSENSE, I'VE PAID THREE DIFFERENT COMPUTER EXPERTS TO LOOK AT MY SET UP AND THEY TELL ME IT'S THE MUTS NUTS, SO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS I HAVE NO IDEA.

I WOULDN'T ENTER THE 100 METRE SPRINT 'COS I'D HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE OF WINNING, SADLY THE SAME NOW APPLIES TO THE OP 66 TOURNEYS. IF YOU CAN'T POSSIBLY WIN, WHY BOTHER.

SO I'LL NOT BE PLAYING, NOT THAT I'VE REALLY BEEN PLAYING FOR WEEKS, GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL, I'LL GIVE IT ANOTHER GO IN A WHILE TO SEE IF ANYTHING HAS CHANGED, IT'S BIZZARE I CAN OPEN ANY TABLE IN THE TOURNEY AND WATCH YOU ALL PLAY, THE ONLY ONE I CAN'T GET TO OPEN IS THE ONE AT WHICH I'M SAT.

I'D BETTER SEE IF I CAN ADAPT MY GAME AND HAVE SOME JOY ON THE RING TABLES, FOR NOW THOUGH THE CHALLENGE FOR MEDALS AND POINTS IS WELL AND TRULY OVER, SAD BUT TRUE

GOOD LUCK TO ALL MY TOURNEY CHUMS, YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE, PLAY NICE BUT PLAY TO WIN

Just one thought before you totally give up. It would be interesting to see how the connection was over a different ISP. This may be something that you have already considered or tried. Not sure if you play on a laptop or a desktop or if there is any possibility of you trying this. It does seem that you have been down pretty much every avenue.

I hope we dont loose you from the Tourneys as I have always considered you to be pretty much part of the furniture.

[TIDDLYW1NK]

Yeah jock, on the advice of tex i went to the library and played from there, well i say played and you can't even stomp around swearing in there. It was exactly the same

[jockney]

That is weird, I can only assume that you have some software that conflicts somehow. I seem to remember that you upgraded your PC and still had the issue. Wish I could be of more help but you appear to have tried everything

[TIDDLYW1NK]

Oh, hang on a minute, i see what you mean now. I'm on aol and the library could be aswell for all i know. Anyone out there from the east leeds area using aol, how's it working??

[TIDDLYW1NK]

AND NOW MY POSTS ARE APPEARING IN LOWER CASE, WIERDER AND WIERDER

can you borrow a laptop/pc to try from your connection to see if its any different.

i do know AOL do have shared connections... so see what happens..

then also lift your system and try on another connection thats a different provider
