    Do you play on any other sites or online games and experience any problems?

    Do you connect to your router via a wireless connection?

    I find this a regular persistant problem. You can be playing normally and then the table freezes, always when you are in a hand, never when you have folded. Worse still is when it comes back to life, you think you are betting on what you see when suddenly all the board cards change, mid-hand as the table software catches up to the server. I was betting with a set when all of a sudden it was gone and a totally different board appeared. You see its not the whole table that is frozen, just your ability to interact with it.

    These problems have occurred on my BT internet connection and now with my Sky broadband

    I have had the same problem with systems running Windows XP and Windows Vista

    They have occurred on three separate computers, one was brand new with no other software installed apart from Windows.

    I have had this problem while playing six tables and playing only one table. I have tried both the browser and the download but still there are problems. It also happens with the new beta software.

    It happened to me on Saturday again and yet again just now.

    It looks like a Sky software/server problem to me, nothing to do with your connection.

    If playing cash, at first sign of "connection problems" stand from your tables and log out!

    Does anyone else recognise these symptoms?
