Several things happen and luckily most online poker rooms have thought of this. What we can recommend is to read the disconnection policy for the poker room you use in order to avoid you loosing any money.
Below are the most common things that happen if you are disconnected from the software during play. Please be advised that these policies should be available at the Website of the poker rooms.
Disconnected from a ring game - Common policy
If you get disconnected from a ring game when you are involved in the pot the majority of the poker software will allow you in the pot, all the way to the showdown, for the amount you already contributed into the pot. The same thing happens if your money runs out in the middle of a hand.
Disconnected from a tournament - Common policy
If you loose your Internet connection during a tournament will automatically put you on check/fold. This means that the blinds will still be taken.
