I'm just curious as to your opinions on HU Tourneys. When you find out that your opponent is disconnected do you steal the blinds till they reconnect? I know it's obvious when you have a sit out, you got to or you'll be sitting there for hours and holding up the tourney. What do you do?
I would take take take
This happened once when there was 4 people left in a game and I slow played when a person disconnected. Another player later said that
that was a class act.
Funny thing was I was in the bathroom and didn't know anyone had disconnected.
I'm a hero for taking a piss:D
Of course I would, just as fast as I could. At the poker table it's each man or woman for himself or herself. If I'm at a multi-table with all sit outs and only one other person playing me, I will share...It's like free money!
Blind em down. They would do the same to me.
Yes, I would take the blinds. It's not my fault they got disconnected. Poker is all about winning.
I would blind em down as fast as possible. Its a dog eat dog world in the poker, so take em while ya can.
I so understand this action .... it is the right thing to do ...you were just playing them ...they were a live person.... you are allowing time like a table situation would ..... wait unles they wre rude(had one last night)........but if you dont show up on time . ive said this before ....... in that case i so blind out the sitout...i'm n ot here to sit around ...im raising every hand turniong off animations muck is on anything i can do top get them out quick...Quote:

all my thoughts exactly, ty all for you input!
It's not my fault if they are playing on a dial up connection .
I'm playing to win, and I payed my buy in thinking they registered and were ready to play.
It's not my fault their connection is wack.
Am I supposed to punish my bankroll for them disconnecting.
I don't think it should be looked down upon either.
Alls fair in love and poker.
I'm sure you've heard that once or twice before.
absolutely, all day i would....IN FACT, i did it tonight in the chips game...the dude gave me the game...its the other persons fault for prolonging the game and making someone sit there and wait...
blind them down!!!! pretty much everyone's answer. no friends at the table!!
