craziest thing while playing online poker

trigs

what is the craziest, strangest, weirdest thing you've done or had happen to you while playing poker online at home?

personally, i haven't had anything really crazy happen. i did once bring my laptop into the bathroom with me so i could continue playing while i was throwing up.

i can't remember who it was, but there was a pfc member who had the police bust down his door while he was playing because they got a phone call saying that there was a woman screaming. (i'm too lazy to search for the thread)

share your most crazy incident while playing poker at home.

Not all that "crazy" but I was in the middle of a good mtt session while our son was being born. Synchronized breaks saved the day! Home birth with a midwife FTW.

My craziest day was winning a $1 + $2500 added tourney on Hollywood Poker out of over 1000 entries, for a $1k+ win which made me late for a live PLO tourney I had signed up for - then winning that too.

When I won the online tourney I was so excited I forgot about the low 8' ceiling on my second floor and punched my fists right into the stucco ceiling, cutting up my knuckles pretty bad on top of everything else.

Also haven't had too much crazy happen to me while playing. Closest would be winning $5800 online in a tourney back in the good old days, freaking out because I'd never won that much ever (or since) but not thinking about the time (4am) or the noise level I was making.

Landlord told me the next day she had 6 phone calls from people in the building (only 20 units total). When I explained to her why it happened, she smiled and said next time it happened, I owed her Blue Jays tickets.

One time I was playing poker / on a skype call with a coach and a dog I was dog sitting pissed all over the rug and I went ape shit

Also, Juan time I spazzed so hard after I got runner runner flushed in PLO for a massive pot, I went postal in my office at my old place and the ex gfs parents were down stairs and I didn't know, and her dad came upstairs to find me only in my boxers with 2 holes punched in the wall (it was his house he was renting to us)

FWIW I don't tilt at all anymore :D

Waaaaaaay back when I used to play for free at Scorepoker (anybody remember that?) I announced to the table that if I had 72o the next hand I would jam. Sure as shit I got it. Freaky.

I wish I had a screen shot of this:

One night I was playing 3 MTTs, had AA at 2 tables and QQ at the 3rd. Both of the Aces hands lost (I forget how) and the Queens ran into-you guessed it- Aces.

The old me would have needed a new laptop, but the new me just sighed and promptly withdrew most of my online roll. That was pretty much the end of my online playing days.
