When determining the amount of EV the disconnection cost me, to consider my hole cards, but not the other hands or the upcoming board, is arbitrary.

Sorry, that's poorly worded.

Your distinction wasn't really arbitrary, since you were talking about the situation preflop (KK vs. QQ), with an unknown board yet to come.

My point was that, assuming the cards I hold have no effect on the likelihood of disconnection, then they're not really relevant to the EV of disconnection in general. It makes no more sense to be very upset about being disconnected w/ KK than it does to be happy about being disconnected before an imminent suck-out. Do you disagree?
