This is most likely cheating. Sometimes, disconnects do happen though, even while opponents are put to an expensive decision.

When this happens and it looks suspicious, I always report the table name, hand number, and offending party to alerts@partypoker.com. You should also CC alerts@empirepoker.com as the sites share ring games.

Tell them that you find the play highly suspicious. Each time they have responded to me telling me that they will review the opponent's past disconnect history to find similar events. I have had them email me back and tell me they were suspending a person's disconnect protect, so that if it happens again the person's hand is folded.

Keep reporting these types... they will eventually get caught. If a person is reported enough, they will lose their disconnect protection (personally I think their account should be banned).

Those two email addresses both go to the exact same place.

I did this (reported) recently when someone timed out in a 3 way pot rather than overcall my all-in preflop bet in pot limit omaha and Party's response was that he disconnected as much as could be expected for someone with a bad Internet connection but they would warn him his account was being watched.... in their email though they actually admitted other people had complained about this player disconnecting to gain all-in protection before.

Given that people won't complain every time it happens this seems to be giving the benefit of the doubt far too much.

Since he bet out and then disconnected, I say he's a cheat.

B/c he got to act on the river, saw his opponenets action, and then disconnected.

If he was first to act, and he disconnected without checking or betting that is usually a internet related problem. But I get my vote that its a cheat.

Doesn't party on the higher limit tables have a no-all in protection thingie...i.e. if your diconnected and don't reconnect within the given period of time..your hand is folded.??
always thought they did,but guess not

There is a distinction between disconnecting and timing out.

Timing out (w.o disconnect) is always a fold.
