The problem is not the power going down as I would assume they had domestic backup power. The problem comes when the Dominican internet engineers do planned maintenance in the middle of the day or when their system is faulty which happens a lot. The switches have huge backup power resources so that the switch does not go down hard. Again, the internet service is intermittent in the D.R. That is when the cat gets nervous. Cash games are safe as you simply sit out, but tournys are horrible as you just get blinded away and all you can do is crack another Presidente and imagine what might have been.
