    Default disconnect protection abuse - villain got busted!

    I was pretty pissed after the following hand, it was the second time from the same player, same table. Both time villain returned in time for the next hand. So I wrote an e-mail to party - here's their response. I like it if it's true. Wanted to keep villain's screen alias in there, but it might be breaking FTR rules?

    Dear Daven,

    Thank you for taking the time to report a potentially suspect usage of
    the 'disconnect protect' feature.

    We have thoroughly investigated villain''s account history with a
    particular focus on the player's previous usage of this feature.

    We have found that the hand you reported to us was indeed suspicious and
    as the investigation has revealed further suspicious disconnects in the
    past, we have proceeded to block the protection feature for this
    account. In future, should the player disconnect, his/her hand will be
    folded. The player concerned has been sent an email explaining the
    reason for our actions.

    If you need any further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact
    us.

    Contact us anytime, we are available around the clock to assist you with
    your account related questions and suggestions.

    Sincerely,

    Nikhil
    Investigations Team

    Well...he wasn't calling - guess he just wanted to make sure he got to see your hand which was pretty obvious anyway.

    It's against the rules to use DCs that way so good job reporting it...not too sure I'd be all that proud of this hand though...what'd you think he had 'sides the BB special?
    Nice to catch that 4-outer though
