Everyone makes silly mistakes like that..

I'm glad your first posts here was asking questions rather than trying to find out where the freeroll passwords are!

Welcome to the board

I just started playing poker online. I always just notice the trips vs trips and think how did that win and have to go back and look through the hand history to see that someone had a fullhouse. Im still working on processing everything faster.

You just started, and by most measures I'm an old hand at online poker and I"M STILL CONFUSED at times and have to go back to see what happened.

OP said his was on TV, unless he was recording it, he couldn't go back.

I've made that mistake plenty of times lol! I would be playing with my buddies down the hall, "somehow" lose, and feel horrible as all of them laughed their asses off when they saw my look of dawning comprehension.
