I just sat down at a .01/.02 fixed limit game at America's cardroom. I'm the only one on the table, but I just noticed that at the top corner it shows the disconnect policy as: 2 all-ins.
Usually I play no limit holdem tables, and if I remember correctly the disconnect policy is always folding, which seems to make sense if you drop a connection. But doesn't this 2 all-in policy mean that if the game disconnects or my internet goes down that I'll go in on the current hand and also on the next hand?
That doesn't seem right.

No, you really need to read the terms on their site.
You have players who will shove all-in and then pull their net out so they get their money back even if they lose, this policy keeps them from doing just that.

Q If I lose connection with the Americas Cardroom Poker Client what happens to my hand and my money?
A Before playing it is very important that you have a secure and continuous connection. Should interruptions in your service occur, Americas Cardroom will not stand accountable for funds lost due to bad internet connectivity.
Q How long do I have to reconnect and get back in the hand after I’ve been disconnected?
A If you were disconnected while playing in a game and you reconnect within 35 seconds, you will be able to act on your hand. In fixed-limit cash games, if you do not re-connect before your time bank expires; your hand will be treated as if you went all in. However, to avoid abuse of this system, this courtesy is limited per player.

Not sure what the 2 all-ins means, but I have always thought that the 'treated as if you went all in' meant that if you are in a hand, and disco, there will be a primary pot (your existing bet is part of that), and a secondary pot (other players). I have never thought that the system would take your stack and bet (all-in) for you. If I have this wrong, then I need to re-think everything.

If the 2 all-ins is what I think it is, it would be that you are limited to 2 disco's while in a hand, and after that something else happens, like they kick you off that table.
