Online all-in etiquette question...

If it's not a HU match, there is nothing wrong with taking the blinds every time.

Even if it is HU there is nothing wrong with taking the blinds. Are you guys serious who said they would wait??

I raise every time as fast as humanly possible until he comes back to the table.

Sure, you could do the "right" thing - but connection problems on someone else's end shouldn't force you (per the moral policy) to begin hating money.

OP:

I've been in both situations. When I was the DC'd player, I called Bodog and got my money back because it was a problem with their software.

In the other situation (HU SNG), I stalled as long as I could. The guy came back in something like 4 minutes. I raised the amount of money I had won while he was offline and told him to raise so that I could fold and we'd be even. If it had gone on much longer (say up to around 7 or 8 minutes), I'd contact support and ask them to kill the match and return money to me and the other player. I'd expect the same courtesy in return, though I likely wouldn't get it. However, I'm not going to angle shoot just because someone else does.

No offense, but you are a fool and could have been banned for collusion.

Against an unknown player I will most likely go ahead and take the blinds, unless I was playing at a buy-in that isn't significant to me. I did have this happen once when heads-up at a 6-7 man tourney against an opponent that I had been playing with and chatting with all day, and I ran out my clock each hand until he returned (we were both doing empire MTT runs for VIP points). I have to have a reason of some sort to do this though, normally I would just take the blinds.

ummm what??? It's heads up!!!!!

And if it's like a 4-player heads up, and you split the pot, that's perfectly legit... After all, both ppl beat separate players on different tables...

You have no idea what you're talking about man!!!!!

I just "played" a tournament where I joined a table for a HU SNG with someone already there. On the first hand, he is set "all in" for some reason.

On subsequent hands, blinds are posted. If I raise, he folds. He auto-folds the SB.

Is there proper etiquette here? Is it somehow wrong to raise the BB each hand and simply take it down?

I would implore the other players to stall until he got back and if they didn't I would start crying.
