Disconnected opponent

It happens quite a lot when I play heads up. I raise every hand and get his (or her) blinds. Why miss on an opporutunity for building your stack?

Unless they are a CC'er regular. Then I would wait.

Rob didnt say anything about it being a friend,,, But You Should know you DONT have any Friends at the table when your playing poker, when i put someone allin and take them out of the game, it dont matter who they are, man, woman, friend or anybody,, Thats just the way it is.. If i was playing a friend or someone from Cardschat and he said brb, i would wait, otherwise its all out war.

I'm as ruthless as anyone when playing poker, but what about fair play? i'm not talking about waiting forever, just not taking advantage of someone's unfortunate situation, giving them a minute or so to help them get back, in the hope that they, or someone else, would do the same if it happened to you. If you saw someone drop $20 out of their pocket, would you tell them or wait til they'd gome and pocket it? isn't having a few morals worth more than winning a few bucks? i thought this poll would be a bit closer to be honest!

Depends...if they drop the cash and are still standing there, then I would tell them so they could pick it up. If, however, they drop the cash then instantly disappear from the face of the earth (similar to a disconnect), then I'd pick up the cash because they were gone through no actions or fault of mine.

Good point JD. If someone said they would be right back because the pizza guy came or something, I would be a lot more willing to take my time.

Maybe the question should be directed to a pro, but with the given circumstances, I already know the answer.

my time is worth money.

There's a quote and a half - like it

Raise like crazy!

If it's a friend, raise like crazy then phone him up and laugh at him.

Rob, sitting out here in the rural mid-west U.S. seeing someone point out to a stranger that they have dropped money, wallet, or other valuables is not at all uncommon. I have done it on several occasions & have had it done to me or mine several times, my most recent ex left her purse somewhere or other numerous times & it was always returned or turned in with valuables intact. Getting back to on line poker, lol, just lost power briefly due to winter storm, I have no expectations of being waited on should I get knocked off line. An exception would be AmadorEd, any game I have ever played with him, should anyone at the table get disconnected Ed slows down. Buy the way Tirel wanted me to point out that the first word of a sentence should be capitalized. :deal: :icon_sant
