Default Disconnect Ethics

Here's the situation: Head Up at the end of a 10+1 on Pacific Poker, I have the chiplead, approx.
Hero-t5000
Villian-t3000
At this point, villian is disconnected from the site. Would you guys fold to his big blinds to give him a fair shot at the tournament when he gets reconnected, or raise his blind everytime and build up a dominating chiplead so when he comes back its pretty much over.
I personally took advantage and won the tourney while he was gone.

I think the answer here is fairly obvious. If you want to be ethical, give up poker and become a priest.

I feel like defending priests.
Believe it or not most priests are very nice ppl. Priests are really underated, hey so maybe the 0,01% of them are pervs, I really respect someone who for once in a while decides that making as much money as possible isnt his life project.priest arent stupids, they know a lot of philosophy and teology, for instance jesuits study over 10 years to become priest .I think god is just as real as santaclaus but I love my jesuit school and Im really happy there.
So more respect for priests !!!! [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
Anyway waiting for the other guy is retarded.

What role, exactly, does being a poker player play in the getting laid part?....I'm pretty sure that I'm the only poker player alive that produce testimony to the fact that getting laid (by 3 different women) was the DIRECT result of being a poker player

Lets see, you said:

and I'm saying that you don't have to give up poker to get laid.

I'm glad we cleared that one up.

I don't think it is bad to take advantage of the situation, but I think it is good to stall or not raise.

This happend to me the other day and I took the middle ground approach. I didn't fold my blinds, but also I waited to raise his blinds until the last possible moment to give him extra time to get reconnected.
