Negative balance freezes next player

This has been an issue for quite a while, but I just lost a $100,000 pot because the player ahead of me bet himself into a -$200 position, which caused a lag for me and kept sitting me out, folding my hand. This bug has been reported several times.

Ryan is trying to fix this and needs as much detail as possible about the event and possible contributory factors. So keep posting details when these things occur.

Thanks Ryan. I'm not complaining, just trying to point out issues to help make the site better. Thanks for all you do.

Sometimes it has happened to me, thankfully on low tables, but I have noticed lately that a negative amount won't always lag you out.

It's curious that each time this happens the amount you can go into negative is always either the small blind or the big blind bet size of that table.

It seems to happen after the flop... a player goes all in a negative balance occurs and then the freeze happens and other players do not have a chance to call or raise...losing what they have invested in the pot.

Ive never seen this with a preflop all in.
