Default Heads Up Against Nobody.

If I am in a 100 heads up on pokerstars, and my opponent gets disconnected and is sitting out and auto folding, should I have a moral qualm over taking his 100 dollars? Would anyone say its wrong to not sit out also at least for a few minutes to give him a chance? Or am I being a jerk even bringing this question up?

sucks to be him..

If you're almost positive he'd wait for you, then I'd wait for him.

Yeah, I'd say it's wrong not to sit out. You are having a heads-up match for God's sake; this isn't the time to win on a technicality.

Personally, I would have sat out.

In a heads up match I believe it's correct to wait.

What about sitting out for a designated period of time, such as one level of play?

My sense is that you didn't so I'll absolve you of your guilt. How long can you realistically wait? I'd give him 5 minutes..

No, the situation never came to be, He got disconnected and used up about 100 seconds of his 120 seconds that he had to come back. While I was waiting I was wondering what I'd do if he never returned.
