Intentially Cutting Connection to go All In
I guess I am surprised this hasn't happened to me sooner, but on PokerStars I made a bluff bet on the Turn to someone I know had a weak hand. He knew he could only beat a bluff so instead of calling he cut his Internet connection, forcing himself to go All In, and taking the pot.
I called him on it, pointing out that the chances of his connection dropping during the 12 seconds he had to make a call (we were on a high speed table), and him reconnecting right after in time to play the next hand are slim to none. His only reply was "I would have called anyways." He then quickly left the table after all the other players started getting on him. Does thie crap happen often? I reported it to PS. Do they do anything about this type of play? I wish they had No All-In Protection on their limit games... SP |

write to PS supports and if they find out that he's abusing this on regular basis, they'll take it away from him

Re: Intentially Cutting Connection to go All In
I play a ton and rarely deal with it, but ironically someone pulled it against me tonight when i floped top 2 and moved all in on the turn and he had a flush and a straight draw and he disconnected. He quickly vanished from the table after the next hand and i reported him to PP. I got a surprisingly quick response (within an hour) telling me that he appears to have done this before, but has also had some other disconnect problems. They say he will be watched and if there are other complaints he will lose the privilege.
PS- on a completely seperate topic, has anyone ever played against uconn321? |

Sometimes i wish the software had a "punch in the face" button to cure this.

Re: Intentially Cutting Connection to go All In
i was playing on stars recently and this dude tried to take the pot away from me on the turn. i knew he had squatola, but i did not want to face a suckout that would cost me more. i had invested as much as i wanted at that point..
i powered off my cpu and came back to a winner. WOOOOOOO p.s. the guy was a little bent when i got back, but stars won't do jackshit GM |

Re: Intentially Cutting Connection to go All In
The Pokerroom network doesn't allow all-in protection on any of its no-limit tables. I mostly play there because of this, I just find it really annoying when people disconnect at other sites. It doesn't even happen that often, maybe once every other day or so, but it's enough to keep me going back to PR.
