I have lost quite a few auctions from bidding last second after internet lagged a bit
At the beginning I thought it was a trick to bid at the last second and you can win the player......now I know that it doesn't matter at all and as dv8r said you better bid early to avoid internet lag. Also i Razz said, sometime you have the message that you are actually winning but not qualified for the next round and if the other player bid in the last second you loose because you were not qualify for the next round and your opponent did. I think that what make the false impression than the bidding in the last second make a difference, but not at all it just make a difference because your opponent think he is winning ( and he is not actually qualify for next round).
