    Default 8000+ chip leader's laptop crashes

    Just won an sng in the most incredible way.

    The 8000 chip leader lost his connection on party. So basically his status was set to away and he folded everything!!

    It was when we were down to five and I was playing aggressive as taught by you guys and the beginners pages! I stole 90% of his blinds!!!!!

    Eventually when down to two the other guy cottoned on but as I was on 13000+ chips now he just asked if i would let him check down to HU. Once we got there we made a really good game of it and i won after he put up a pretty good fight.

    I guess you can only ever be that lucky once in a blue moon but if i hadn't been raising so aggressively in position i would never have profitted. The never minraise tip is the best addition to my game ever!!!

    Your advice rules!!

    Very nice! This has happened to me a few times, I love it. The other situation which is similar is when you're the big stack, a medium stack to your left gets disconnected when it's 4-handed and the other two players basically fold everything but monsters, so you just keep on pounding them mercilessly whilst they wait for the disconnected player to blind out.

    To get really funky, you could even fold your SB to the disconnected player's BB to prolong the bubble but some consider that unethical...

    Yeah, I wouldn't have agreed to check down, I would have just kept on pwning him until he started pushing back.

    if you're saying you let him finish second instead of the guy sitting out, that is not only collusion, it's extremely -EV.
