Re: ZeeJustin at PokerStars, encore
Okay you guys are overreacting IMO. Lets imagine a situation where someone is "convicted" of intentionalyl disconnecting in a cash game, in a $1000 pot, that they end up winning. They have 20k in their account. No pokersite in the world is going to confiscate all 20k. They are going to at most return the 1k pot to the victim if the disconnect seems to be ingenuine, and they will return the 19k to the offender and either ban them from their site or remove their disconnect protection.
They may search this player's history for more greivances, but unless you want all the money confiscated by anyone who is convicted of any cheating, then you need to stop being hypocrites. Also I honestly feel a lot safer knowing that they can't just take all of your money because they feel you cheated. You don't think a poker site has ever been wrong about someone having cheated? In these cases, they are correct, but I'm sure there are gray areas that could occur where they may falsely accuse you of cheating once. For instance you could make some comment at the table that affects gameplay, that may be construed as clear collusion/cheating. Do you really want them to now take every penny from your account?
Do you think that someone whom is found to have intentionally used a disconnect protection should lose everything in their account? If not, then I believe you are at least somewhat of a hypocrite.
