About LinkBacksI think one weapon every online player should have is to be aware of when your opponent has disconnected/timed out in a 2 way pot and to instantly make the minimum bet to take the pot to down.
Pretty often I have timed out on a hand on 1 table on the turn when multitabling only to see the river checked to me and me take the pot with AK high when on autofold.
How the timing out works varies from site to site but learn how it works on your site and take advantage. Here is the biggest pot I ever won using this move. I may possibly have had the best hand but I sure as hell wasn't going to find out as soon as the guy timed out I bet my $10, tyvm.

are you talking about timing out when you dont want to call a bet from someone, or talking about using that to your advantage when someone times out of a pot you are in. becuase most sites just consider you all in and you dont have the option to bet to fold the guy out.
AsuitedKing: justify the call
EhRa: he hits his set und waited that i hitz something and he dindt play he only goes allin
EhRa: tahts a big donk ... so ****

The tables that say "No All-In Protection" do not have the feature, they are just sitting out if they get disconnected.
I've used this so many times

Stupid UB all in protections
For Free Money, Rakeback and some 6x Ongame bonuses, I recommend PokerSource.
I recommend Cardrunners for superb poker coaching. It was honestly the single biggest improvement in my game signing up there! Sign-up fee might seem steep, but it pays itself back within weeks.

I hate the all-in protection on PKR... I'm sure people have purposefully disconnected when a scare card hit on the river and I bet at least 3 times
