Following the end of this hand call_me_daddy accused wdrzich of purposely disconnecting his computer and said he was reporting the hand to PP. What do you think here?

I dunno, looks like he did it on purpose. Somebody did this to me on Party the other day and I wasn't very pleased.

Could be on purpose, it's hard to tell. He didn't have much of a hand so who knows. I'm more suspicious when people do this pre-flop or with a draw facing a big bet that they don't want to call. To me it seems like a waste to use on a hand this mundane - if you do this just a few times and get reported, Party will smack your hand and that will be that. At least use it in a situation where more money is at stake.

Greedo017 is on a distinguished road
 it depends on circumstances, i think you can't really tell here, but i doubt it a little bit. i would guess wdrzich knows he's bwned after the checkraise, he only has mild incentive to want to show this down.

my internet connection at home used to suck, and I've definitely disconnected in situations where it probably looked like I was doing it on purpose, and I would've had motive to. I don't like to jump to conclusions unless its really obvious.
i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

Just report and move on to the next hand...

You cant tell by looking at the history if it was done deliberatly or not.

I've had a sucky dialup connection and folded AA to a preflop push (over my raise) ... Then I came back the guy ranted at me for "disconnecting" on his push with QQ (he setted) till I pointed out that I had AA(he didnt bother checking the history).

Disconnects happen at bad times, nothing to do about it other than report and move on... if he has a history of it, they will see it, if not, then it was bad luck.

ps: Looking back on that hand I still grin... I logged on to:

Jerk: ****** ****** ****** I reported you for ****** disconnecting ******* ****** *********** you ******** they will lock your ****** account ***** *******
Laeelin: .... yeah, I didnt want to call your preflop push and folded my rockets. Check the hand history.
Laeelin: Because you like reporting so much, I returned the favor.
Jerk: ********* ******** ******** ********** ***** *****
Jerk has left the table.

Q. Is poker Gambling?
A. Do you use correct bankroll management?
