A couple of thoughts on disconnections
1. I got disconnected from UB one time and it was during raise situation on the river. When I got back to the game my opponent was really ticked and accused me of cheating. The other guys quickly ragged on me. I asked what he lost, and he told me and I transfered it to his account.
He thought I was just talking until he got it and said -- "you did transfer it, sorry man..." . I said it was the only way to prove that my disconnect was legit.
2. When I was having internet problems my disconnections would always seem to come when there was multi-betting raising in a pot. Perhaps some techy guys would know why this is (maybe information transfer is peaking). Anyway, I had LOST my fair share of money by being disconnected. So, it goes both ways. If you have a monster hand you get none of the $ put in after the disconnect. I just quit playing til I got a new ISP.
I've got a new ISP now and all is OK, but I just wanted to point out that when a person is NOT really cheating, they can get hosed on disconnects too. As far as the cheaters go, they should offer to tranfer funds or get reported. Anyone who had a legit disconnect will gladly transfer the funds if they have any morals.
