    25 STT on PP. And down to heads up. My, very ropey, internet connection drops, and mindless verbal abuse ensues. 3-5 minutes later I reconnect and to my surprise Len has sat out and waited for me to come back.

    I get dropped failry regularly only to reconnect to find that "you have been removed from the table" message box - meaning the guy I was heads up raised every hand and stole the show.

    I just thought this display of gamesmanship should be noted - fair play Len.
    It would have been even better if I had of went on to win;)

    Confession time...

    This happened to me once before....I raised every hand:(

    I did feel quite bad about it though and have decided to be more like my new hero Len in the future....

    My policy in h2h is to give the oppo one level of blinds to get reconnected.
    Its good for the soul, I hope.

    I think it's a given that you wait for someone you know in that situation. However, if the opponent is a stranger, who's to say that they haven't had to leave abruptly or won't be resuming play for whatever reason. I also find it's rare that an opponent returns in these circumstances.
