 Online SNG etiquette question, MozMan, 13. Aug 2003 22:04 | ||

| What are you supposed to do when your heads-up opponent has disconnected? All of his SBs are automatically folded off to you, and all you have to do when you are the SB is call and he automatically folds off. Do you do this, or do you hit the "sit out" button and let the SBs go back and forth for a while to see if he comes back? I've had this happen to me twice so far. The first time, we were in the middle of heads-up play when my opponent suddenly disconnected. After 2 or 3 hands, I hit the "sit out" button, and about 5 hands later, he came back and we finished the game. Tonight, the chip leader disconnected while there were still 3 of us left. The third guy and I played until he (the third guy) busted out, and I was left with the disconnected player. He had already been gone over ten minutes, so I let his stack run out (took another 5 mninutes or so) and won the SNG... Do you think, given the situations, these were both proper, or should it always be one way or the other? If I should always try to wait him out, how long should I wait? -Moz "Your destiny chooses you." | ||

| I would personally give my opponent about 5 minutes to reconnect and then raise him out of his stack. It's within the rules and in no way my fault that he disconnected so i have no moral qualms with it. | ||

Personally I would also try to wait to see if he could reconnect if we were heads up. Tonight, the chip leader disconnected while there were still 3 of us > left.

If they can't reconnect in over 10 minutes who knows what the reason is. | ||

| I would give him about 3 minutes to reconnect ... just enough time to reboot his machine, reconnect to the internet, and sit back down. If he's disconnected because he had an important phone call that's his problem so I won't give him too much time. Also, if I'm a short stack compared to him, I'll steal a couple of hands first for fairness, since the wasted time of him being away still factors into the blinds going up sooner and as a short stack that hurts me directly. Thus I wouldn't feel at all bad about taking 2 or 4 blinds from him right away. | ||

| Once again, very topical.....this happened in my PPM satellite last night. There were 3 of us and I saw the big blind fold to a call. Not realizing what was going on, I chatted the obvious "do you know you just folded....". THEN, it seemed to get the other player as well. If I called, they both folded. If I raised, they both folded. If I folded, the big blind would take it down. It lasted about 4 or 5 hands, which at 200-400, increased my lead by nearly 1000. I didn't play any hands I wouldn't have normally, not knowing when they'd come back in, but if it was my turn, I played, I didn't wait around. Conveniently, when they came back, I had A-J and quickly dispatched one of the 2. I slept fine last night. on 13.

| You did a good thing Moz! I hardly ever lose my lousy dialup connection, but a couple weeks ago I lost my connection in a SNG while heads up. I was up 5500 to 4500. When I got back about 2 minutes later I was at about 4800. I'm thinking my opponent didn't wait for me at all. But I had no qualms since I won! :-) TKarrde "The next best thing to playing and winning, is playing and losing." | ||

| I make sure auto muck is on, do not show winning hands is on and I raise when I am in the big blind, and every now and again I check how good my oppenents connection is if I see that it is degrading I use most of my time clock hoping he/she disoconnects.......I have never lost a hand to a disconnected player :) | ||

| Er i am feeling guilty now especialy after getting on my high horse about people slow playing on the bubble. I would keep raising and win his stack and win the tourny ( in fact i must admit about having done it ). Should i be giving people a chance to reconnect ? Chasepoker | ||
