Default Party Disconnect Abuse - What do I do?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter

BB ($528.4)
UTG ($456.2)

Hero ($467)

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $12</font>, SB (poster) calls $10, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>.

Flop: ($28) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $175</font>.

Final Pot: $333
Villain here disconnects right after I make my river bet.


So obvious he disconnected on the river bet. I emailed abuse@partypoker.com, should I expect anything?

This isnt exactly a big decision sb has to make. You're betting 75 at him into a pot of 160 ! There've gotta be better spots than this to disconnect.

Anything is possible. For a short stack specialist taking a shot, this might be somewhere he doesn't want to get bluffed. Just smells fishy, seems worthy of having Party figure out if hes done this in the past, and if so, bring on the hammer.

$175. But I agree, I've seen more blatant examples.

I wouldn't expect anything other than a form letter about how theres no history of him doing it. It's so crystal clear that "disconnect protects" are horribly abused yet they continue to allow them, even at $1000nl. I think a great strategy would be to have a fake bad connection and pull the plug periodically in benign situations to mask your cheating, they'd never detect the "pattern" they always say they look for.

I'm 2 for 2 for getting it taken off them, as is someone else who posted in my other thread.
