Just a strange question. I was thinking about it today. About a poker game website/apps or any online gaming platform with money being involved.

What would be the best way to deals with disconnected users trying to avoid a loss or maybe real disconnection.

I doubt pausing the game until that player comes back is very suitable.

Any ideas? Suggestions?

Amount they bet stays in the pot and their chips get put back into their account. If they want to re-enter the game then allow them.

Is there more to your problem than what you're asking?

No, you answered it right. :) Doesn't that change the dynamic of the current game if someone is constantly leaving and entering every round? – Cybrix Nov 19 '11 at 15:16
Well, leaving and entering should not give you any advantage, but I cannot see how leaving a poker game, and then reenter would.... – Paxinum Jan 2 '12 at 13:29
