u are heads up in a multi where the prize is quite substantial, a £1500 seat at a live tourney.

you have just arranged with the other guy that the winner will pay 10% of whatever he wins in the live tourney to the loser.

you are being outplayed and are down to 10% in chips.

suddenly the other guys connection fails. do you wait, or keep raising as quick as possible to pick up his blinds?

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

Wait. It is the honourable(sp?) thing to do. You can go to bed knowing you did the correct thing, even if you didn't win the seat at the event this time.

Next time when you do win the seat. You will think to yourself  " i played like a man and deserve this".  ( "played like a man" is not meant to be sexist. It just sounds better than " played like a person"  Cheesy )

how about, wait for about 2 minutes, thinking you really should wait.... then...     decide to get all the chips in as quick as possible. get to a 66/33 position before he comes back.. and then play like a complete novice until you lose. hey presto, u have lost the tourney AND done the wrong thing. HURRAH!

i have to say i wouldnt sit out here. id be fair and would raise every bb....but id make it 50/50ish and keep it that way.

at the end of the day, if hes lost his connection then thats his fault, i know it sounds harsh but if hes going to be disconnected for a long period like 10 mins + then the blinds are going to catch up with you and it makes it much harder to make a comeback with the blinds so high and such a short stack.

if hes disconnected because of a poker room problem then thats the poker rooms issue that they will need to sort out. im not responsible for their servers!

if i knew the person on or off the tables then of course id sit out. if it was an idiot...id be all inevery hand....simple

BUST THE MOUSE RAISING!!!!!

RAISE RAISE RAISE

I never met this guy before and i could'nt care less......................RAISE!!!!!!

I WOULDN'T BE ALLOWED IN MY LOCAL EVER AGAIN, MY FRIENDS WOULD SUFFER CONSIDERABLE STOMACH DAMAGE THROUGH EXTENSIVE LAUGHTER, AND I COULD'NT LIVE WITH MY SELF IF I DID SUCH A STUPID THING AS WAIT FOR HIM.!!!!!!!!!!

SMASH THE MOUSE RAISING!!!!!

if he did'nt do the same to me, and i saw that he'd waited for me, i'd renage on the agreement as i could'nt bring myself to keep a deal with such a dougnut.

I have to admit I would Raise. I'd expect it to be done to me as well.

This circumstance is exclusive to online play though. You don't know the guy and he probably lives on the other side of the world.

If I knew them either personally or via online I would wait.

In the example given a saver was made. If THAT had happened i would have to wait as we'd already been discussing deals. How long would I wait? 1 hour maybe - then I have to get on with my life and raise.

That doesn't make sense to me. You wait or you take.

If you get the chip count back to 50/50 then proceed to win once he gets back, your honour will still be brought into question. It's either all or nothing for me, no middle ground.

If you wait, well done you, but don't expect the same in return. Having your blinds stolen when suffering from connection problems is not cheating. You can't expect everyone to abide by a moral code that you invent.

I had this the other day, I decided to sit out. The only thing was how long for, the blinds were still relatively small but it certainly wasn't going to be forever.
He came back after 5-10 minutes and I went on to win. Must have been good Karma as Earl would say.
The annoying thing was seeing some of the hands that I had during this period.
To each their own, I have had the reverse happen to me.
