If you are having a good game against someone who loses the connection, then slow play it until they reconnect (unless it's for major money!). However, last night I was playing against an A1 a***hole who was trying to wind me up with a bunch of stupid comments about my play etc.
How funny when he lost his connection. I wasted no time in blinding him down. He came back into the game when he had t270 left and gave me a hard time for being unethical. I loved it!

If someone was a an ahole, I probably wouldn't extend the courtesy either.

Ethically it is probably wrong, but in a B&M game if you are not at the table you lose your blinds. Also, we all play knowing that we could get disconnected, which sucks, but it is a flaw w/ online poker. Finally, he is in the money, so it is not that big of a deal.

I stall as long as I can each hand but I don't fold.

I mean what if you are heads up in a B&M tourney and the other guy suddenly gets a case of explosive diarrhea? Do they make you fold every other hand?
