Although this is a great Stephen King book I am talking about phantom bets,folds, and checks. Computer decides to fold your hand for you before you get the chance to decide on your own even though your not on the clock. I've seen this happen with checks and folds to. Am I crazy or does this happen to everyone? Let me know your story

Never happened to me on pokerstars in more than 10 years of play. Can't speak for other sites though. What site is this happening on?

Also, it might not be related to the poker site but could instead be a virus or even a dodgy mouse or keyboard. I'ts a remote possibility I know but hey, computers can get all weird if you don't do some maintenance once in a while.

Probably a problem with your mouse, check the button isn't getting stuck sometimes, or if you are using a touchpad maybe something touched it causing it to click?

The mechanism of online poker is a black box. You must believe, or stop the game.

I use my phone only, and it's a new one and my fingers are no where close to the screen, thanks for the reply

I've had it happen on ACR where all the buttons disappear and there is no way to act.

this has always been explained by a trembling hand or inattention

what do you mean by that? I believe that a good ghost could make a better decision than mine. Maybe it's Annabelle, Lucifer. Whatever, pray is the one way for you :) Or to try change your mouse, keyboard or to buy one macbook lol GL

I was thinking about this problem and really did not read the replys and if you have ever noticed but you can actually fold raise and call with your keyboard button i belive they are f1 f2 f3 so watch your keyboard

I think they are more usual situations than you think I do not think it's so crazy

Can be a problem of usability, many factors contribute to a App's usability. Do you configured a shortcut for any action? If I'm not mistaken this is possible.
