    I take my seat at a 1v1 1k stt, after the first level I was up to 2400 chips from 2000 starting.

    I am first to act with AA when I look i see my opponent has been disconnected! argh, looks like i will not be getting paid off I think but wait, i check the notes and the name sounds like a name i have previously cursed!

    About a week prior to this i had played this guy in a 500 game when my net connection droppped.

    I woke up with 800 chips after being disconnected for about 2 minutes from a roughly 1900 chips, thankfully with a pocket pair, he called my all in with a lower pair and I went on to win the match.

    What's your move here and why?

    I've done it before. Away from table until he reconnects. I don't care what he likes to do I'm not him.

    flat call and see how his 93o takes out your AA?

    I hope you're on Broadband to get good value for the time he is disconnected.

    I've always taken the maximum time on my end everytime someone has disconnected on me. Same again this time.

    Me too. Sit out for 5 minutes then start taking the blinds but take the maximum time to take them. If you don't your poker karma will unbalanced and you'll suffer such a horrible series of ass-reaming bad beats you'll have to take a a month off for your bum to shrink bank to normal size.

    Why oh why do most of your posts have this vividly graphic bottom orientated imagery?

    To be clear, I'm not looking for an explanation on these boards for this 'preference'.


    I'd just like you to examine your motives for this predilection.

    I've seen the infamous whiteskank from tribeca raise disconnected opponents twice in €500 games so when they return theyve f-all chips left to play with.

    i think it's a disgusting practice and I generally make some horrible remarks to my opp if i get disconnected and he's raised me when i get back.

    Based on my notes I proceeded to turbo-click until he woke up with 100 Chips.

    I sat back down at the table afterwards and he commenced an assault of abuse...unseated.

    I replied with a quote from the notes i have on him, that shut him up very quickly.


    Had it been anyone else I would have waited had i experienced connectivity issues, he would not have hesitated for one moment.

    Would have done the same thing, revenge is a dish best served cold.
