A series of rolling blackouts in South Africa have wreaked havoc with online poker players and their profits. When playing poker online, especially in a tournament, poker players need to be in constant contact with the game server of their respective online poker room. When an opponent makes a move to bring you profit, you lose your chance if you are not logged on, and power outages in South Africa have been causing poker players to lose connections at the worst possible times. Some poker players are buying back up power sources in order to keep their games going strong.
