Default Re: SNG heads-up etiquette (disconnect)

The Germans have a word which perfectly captures how I feel about these situations;

scha·den·freu·de Spelled Pronunciation[shahd-n-froi-duh]
–noun

satisfaction or pleasure felt at someone else's misfortune.

And just to rub it in, you should turbo MINRAISE every time and SHOW your 72o when he's folded out. Maybe throw in the odd 'lol' in the chatbox.

And then when he is re-connected, he is transformed into............MegaMonkeyTiltBoy.

The end is never far away after all that.

I was disconnected in a SNG heads up last week, somehow I ended up with a biggger stack when I came back.

Does anyone not expect their opponent to do the same if you disconnect?

On a side note;

I can't believe how people HATE you, when you beat them heads up. Even with no suck outs.
I destroyed a guy the other night, made a few correct river calls with ace high or king high which seemed to tilt him though there was no chat. Once the match was over I said "gg"
And he replied "FU moron"

Since being a complete dick to your opponent heads up seems to be the norm, I blind away. Though this has only happened twice I can remember.

Mini-bet as quickly as you can, and then steal the blinds.

If you're playing in a live tourney and someone keels over at the table, call time on him while you're waiting for the medics to arrive.

Show no mercy.

Ok, seriously -- there is no ettiquite breach in trying to steal all his chips.

More interesting question -- there are three (or 4) left in a SnG, and someone disconnects.

Now, I think we all agree that there's nothing wrong with the people with the connection grabbing the poor schmo's chips. But -- if they talk around the table and agree not to bet and how to split the swag, is this collusion?

I say yes. They can implicitely agree by their actions, but not explicitly do so.

I would raise too. I don't see anything wrong with it. Its been done to me, and I understand its part of the game.
