It is an option that online poker rooms have to protected a player if his internet connection fails. The usual method is to treat this player as being all-in. he makes no more actions and is allowed to go to showdown.
This function varies in each poker room. Usually, there is a limit to the number of times this will work for a given player. Regularly it is not available in tournaments; the disconnected player's cards are folded and he loses the bets he has made until that moment.
Such disconnect protection abuse is seen as cheating by some poker rooms and these limitations are to prevent abuse of this feature (specially used by maniacs), since a player could just disconnect his machine if the bets become too high but he does not want to fold.

Preventing Tilt
Hi Guys,
Some days, you lose a big hand and start to play bad because you want to win the money back, or just because you are so irritated about it. The best thing to do when you feel yourself going on tilt is to just walk away... Go hang out with your friends, play with your kids, watch a movie with your wife, or do something else you like for a some hours, or days if necessary. Then, when you have a clear head and are focused, come on back and build that bankroll again.
Summing up, if you feel you are not playing your best poker. STOP !!! Is the best decision you can adopt.
Regards

Please dont
Don't get married to a hand. Make sure you don’t over play a hand which started well but got worse as the board progressed. The must common is high pocket pairs where people will not fold, regardless of the board. Do play them and do bet hard but make sure you have the discipline to fold if they go wrong- don’t throw good money after bad.
Good luck.

Discipline
Hi,
In poker, you have to have discipline, be patient, take the right opportunities, be aggressive but not crazy or maniac, know when to take a chance, know when to bluff, and know when you're beat.
For example, a major leak for most poker players is their starting hand requirements. They get anxious to play, so they take chances and play hands that they know they shouldn't. This shows a lack of self-control and patience.
If you play how you know you can and should play, you're going to minimize the draws that your opponents will make by making them pay to do it.
If you don't consistently have discipline and patience at the poker table, you're not going to be a winning poker player in the long run.
Good luck

Expected Value (EV)
The expected value (or EV), of a move is the average gain/loss that results from a situation taking into account all possible results and their probabilities.
In order to calculate expected value, you take every possible outcome, multiply each by the odds of that outcome happening, and then adding those numbers altogether.
Example: Suppose you made a bet with me on a coin flip. If it is heads, I give you $5. If it is tails, you give me $1. Should you take this bet, assuming that the coin is a normal one and has a fifty-fifty chance of landing on heads or tails? Of course you should. This is a very good EV situation.
There is a 50% chance of it landing on heads, meaning you will win $5. So, your expected win is $2,5 (0.50*$5). If it lands on tails, you lose $1. So, your expected loss is $0.50 (0.50*$1). Your expected profit is the expected win minus the expected loss. Thus, your expected profit is $4.50. Isn't that great!!!!
In the long run, you will win, even if the coin lands tails the first 20 times in a row, in the long run, it will land 50% of the time heads and you will have profit!!!

Taking advantage of your table image
Table image is how your opponents become aware of your play. Your table image is constantly being evaluated. Your image may be completely different a few orbits on from what it happens to be in a given moment.
Once you get into the routine of paying attention to your own image, you must constantly observe how your opponents react to different playing styles.
When faced with aggression, do they slow down and wait for a hand, trying to trap you, or do they play back at you? When you are playing tight do they try and run you over? Do they get out of your way when you're betting? If you are playing loose-aggressive, which is becoming the usual style in online play, you, more than ever, need to pay attention to your table image.
Changing gears is extremely important. The flow of the table is always changing and you should be able to change with it. If you can vary your play enough, you're going to be a very difficult player to play against!
You should be able to move from playing ultra-aggressive to ultra-tight when the situation dictates. If you are going to be playing the loose-aggressive approach, you have to be able change it when necessary...

The trick to playing successful poker is to integrate these styles into your game and be able to switch back and forth as your opponents' perception of your image is determined. The beautiful thing about the game of poker is that no specific playing style can be considered ideal.
Conclusion: If your opponents are uncertain of how you are playing, they are going to make mistakes that will translate into dollars in your account
