A really strange thing just happened

[Ptolemy]

Up to this point I've been just lurking, reading the posts and learning quite a bit. To everyone here I say thank you for all the things I've been learning to help my game. However, the strangest thing I've ever seen in a one table tournament just happened and I had to pass it along and ask if anyone has ever seen this.

Third place has just busted out and now I'm heads-up for the win. I have about 1500 more chips than my opponent. First hand I call pre-flop and wait. My opponent times out. No disconnect, just times out and folds. Suddenly, every hand is folded instantly by my opponent until I win.

Not that I can complain about a win or anything, but does anyone have a clue at all what may have been going on, or, more so, through the thoughts of my opponent.

Thanks.

He may have hit "post and fold" or the equivalent, i.e. he had somewhere else to be, was late, etc.

I have had this happen as well, even in a big multi table tourney when it was down to 3 of us.
In sng's, they mave have multiples going and need to focus on them since they have already locked up 2nd place money.

Or his power went out, his ISP quit on him, his computer died, all sorts of things. (Is it a really bad sign if I have an old laptop sitting next to the desktop just in case ?)
