wow, if you disconnect there you go all in without commiting more of your stack? That's sick. Disconnect with AK when missing the flop and see turn/river for free!

no its not fair, some people abuse it.

its one of the reason why i want to leave UB but the games are too good right now

omg that´s sick method is that on all pokersite´s ?

nope thats why pokerstars have "no all-in" on all the tables, because originally they did this but people complained so now every single one has "no all-in protection"

Party has no disconnection protection too. I'm pretty sure you can complain about the abuse of this tho (dunno if it helps any).

No, it isn't fair at all, not even close to fair

So unbelievably stupid that UB still works like this

i dont think its that unfair if you have a maximum number of disconnects (1 or 2 like party has). I often get disconnected because my internet sucks.

Lol this would tilt me alot if they had that where I play :[

don't you get like 2 disconnects per 24 hour period? i've played some decent sized pots where i swear someone just pulled their internet connection and used 1 of their 2 disconnects. it's just another reason to hate UB

Abuse should have a much bigger penalty than just losing disconnection protection obvious abuse should result in a penalty to your opponent or even just a penalty in general to be added to bad beat jackpot or something 100%
