| | | disconnect ethics
Is it ethical to pound someone into oblivion when they get disconnected? I was in a $2 6 man NLHE down to HU when the guy disconnects. I hammered him. Is this the right thing to do? Do people wait for people to come back in this situation? If it was a CT event, I would (I think). Against a stranger, I wasn't so inclined.
What say the masses? |

What do you think the other guy would have done?
Hammer away, I think you gotta take any advantage that comes along.

Hammer away. It doesn't matter WHO you are playing with if it's online.
If it's CT, then I might chop if it was that significant of a difference. Anyone else, Hammer away. "You play to win the game."
There are NO boy scouts in Poker.

there is no problem with hammering them. If the problem was on their end you certainly shouldn't expected to put everything on hold while they right whatever is wrong.
and if the problem is on the poker sites end then that person can usually get at least a refund plus some cash if they were in the money.
So yeah, pillage away. |

It's poker. If you want a friend, get a dog. |
