| I never will know how but the last two times my internet connection dropped with around 4 or 5 left in the SnG "I" managed to finish second once and third the last time. And I never really had that impressive of a chipstack. I figure people try to steal my blinds when someone else picks up a hand and they end up busting out.... or maybe I suck so bad my best chance is to never play |

| Depends with me too. If it's one of you guys, I'll wait as long as possible, or if it's someone who's been generally friendly. But, I've lost my connection a few times HU, got back on pretty quickly to find that my opponent (non CCer of course) had opted for the "frantic" blind steal and been down most of my chips. So yeah, eye for eye. |

| If it was someone I knew or was friends with, play slow. Anyone else, I'm raising, raising, raising, getting all I can get. Why? Because I know 99% of people will do the same to me when I get disconnected. I wouldn't expect them not to. Money's money. |

| re: Disconnected opponent poker As much as I'd like to take the moral high ground, it would be raise raise raise....its a ruthless world out there. To put into perspective :- With just over 40 people left in the party poker million (a year or so ago) I picked up KK in the BB. Folded around to the SB...The SB raised, I reraised and he launched all-in. Before I could call the computer crashed (generally about a once nightly occurence at the time, but never quite so untimely as this). Apparently he had JJ. Such is life.....and something you simply have to accept. No-one in there right mind is going to feel sorry for your technical difficulties and insist that the hand be re-run or chips returned....so generally I would raise raise raise without any feeling of guilt whatsoever, knowing that maybe it was just a little bit of karma. |

| Just steadily raise & take blinds until they get back on line. Exception to this being a CC event. On occasion I have slow played in this situation in a regular SNG because my opponent had been friendly & it had been a good match. I figure if it's only about the money I am playing above my comfort level. |

| I'm there to make money. The easier, the better. I'd take the blinds and let the other guy deal with support to get his buy-in back. Not because I'm callous. It's because I know that 90% of the world would do the same to me, as indicated by the current poll tally above. (It would be different if the other player was a friend or a fellow CC'er.) |

| re: Disconnected opponent poker Basically the same as quite a few of you noted above. If it's some random donk then I will raise and take as many blinds as possible (because that's what they would do to me, I'm sure.) If I have had a decent conversation with that person at the table or it's someone I know I will take my time and allow them a chance to reconnect and continue the battle as fairly as possible (and I would hope they would do the same to me as well.) |
