Just curious on people's thoughts on this. In this actual hand my ISP cut out, but it certainly gave me the optimum play. Does anyone here actually do this regularly and on purpose? How is it policed on different sites?

If my ISP hadnt cut out at that point, I really think I would have been forced to fold here. Doctor, a decent player limps UTG, then instantly calls a reasonable bet on a scary flop. At best here I put him on T8 or 78. More realistically I see him with J9s, or a set. The dcp saved me.

Just wanted to open up a discussion on the topic.

(Note: Please dont tell me to fold preflop, for my style and image I can guarantee a call was correct; I play a fairly strange passive game Im working on)

Oh and just for the record, this guy was actually incredibly good (for the $5 level anyway). He completely outplayed me for the majority of our heads up, until he got married to BPTK vs my B2P; was weird.

I see that all the time. Player plays really tight then suddenly can't get away from a marginal hand. It's cool.

Disconnect protect is teh gay. I understand why it's there, but people who exploit it deliberately are assholes. Most sites don't police it unless the player is reported by someone else in the hand - then they'll review other incidents and reports (if any) and make a decision. I reported a guy on Party one time for a hand where he raised big pre-flop, and I called with a low pair; then he bet out on a harmless flop that happened to give me a set. I raised all in and he disconnected; I ended up winning but he got to find out if I was bluffing or not for no additional cost. Really irritating. Party assured me he hadn't had any prior incidents but they still sent him a warning, apparently - something like "Maybe you did, maybe you didn't... but don't do it again."

Can you actually disconnect on purpose? I didn't know you could... not that I would ever do that.
