Why do sites host no DP tables?

[pkrNinja]

Why do sites host tables with no disconnect protection tables? Are there people who feel that DP is abused so heavily that they would prefer a table which does not offer it at all. (therefore also potentially harming themselves.)

Just curious

I have had people who probably weren't cheating disconnect on me and gain an edge. That is annoying, and probably the reason for nodp.

I find that everyone's connection seems to be much better on these tables. They must somehow boost the signal.

I think no DP should be standard for NL and PL tables.

I almost never see anyone "disconnect" in those games pre-flop, nor when they're folding crap cards with no draw.

Disconnect protection on Party's NL/PL tables is heavily abused. I regularly report individuals who disconnect at times where it's obviously intentional (ie: facing a very large bet with a marginal holding or a draw). I'd say 75% of the individuals I report Party writes me back to say that they found that individual doing that on multiple occasions in tough spots. Party then removes their disconnect protection permanently.

If I have a stable internet connection that is unlikely to disconnect me, by all means I prefer playing on tables that don't have DP. Frustrating to no end to not get paid off when you should or get sucked out on by a guy who didn't wanna call off his stack on a draw, yet couldn't stand to lay it down (ie: he pulls the plug on his internet).

Yes

For limit I don't mind having tables with DP, but at NL and PL tables they should all be no DP.

[donkeyradish]

Some sites don't have disconnect protection simply because their software isnt sophisticated enough to support it.
