Re: Disconnect abuse
i play mostly using a wireless router and my connection goes in and out pretty often. I must have used disconnect protect dozens of times. The funny thing is that it has never happened in a big hand. So when i see other people use it to cheat a game, even if it isnt against me, i make sure to report it.

Theres nothing worse than making a big bluff and he disconnects with his flush draw or top pair. [/ QUOTE ] I can't imagine how bad that is. Well I suppose I can, but it's bad. Real bad. There's no place for all-in protection in a no limit poker game, if you disconnect, bad luck.

Re: Disconnect abuse
I share your sentiment. One problem I encounter is when the abuse occurs I urge the player involved in the pot to report the abuse. Invariably the response is "How do you do that?" Party (and Empire, etc) have done a poor job of providing information on how to report abuse.

Re: Disconnect abuse
I report it whenever it happens in a big hand. 2 for 2 so far with getting it taken away.
I've been taking a lot of hilarious verbal abuse lately, and I'm tempted to try to get chat banned from some players, but these players are invariably terrible and may tilt less if they can't chat.

Sometimes they pipe down and that's OK; more often, their antisocial personality disorder is iced with a deep resentment of authority. If there's anything more profitable on this earth than an enraged poker player, I've yet to find it.
