Why I am asking?
On one MTT tournament $0.25 45 Players (Used to play only MTTs for $0.25) on late stage of the game I had flopped Straight Flush and I was so exited that I incidentally miss clicked and folded that hand. You cannot imagine my frustration...

Years have passed and now shame is fading :)...

Back when I played higher then I do now (ca 2005-2015) I had to have a back up internet connection because the main provider did "upgrades" to their service often.

So you could sit in a pot with several hundred dollars in the middle and moving all-in on the river with the nuts and... poff, there goes the internet connection and the client do not respond.

Since it often took to long to switch to the back-up the pot got lost.

Very irritating and nerve wrecking.

"Luckily" I am now retired from playing online for more than fun on lower stakes. And the ironic part is that I know have a very stable internet connection. Better late than never.

But it would have saved me a lot of money if I had a stable connection earlier.

Yes I have done this. Even more times i have jumped to grab a drink or something think i have plenty of time and get back to great hand seconds left scramble to click at least call or min raise to be fraction of second late. Sometimes you see would have lost anyway and your happy.

I understand you very well.I was in this situation several times but one of them was on final table on such MTT $0.25 luckily they wait 2 min to act but this wasn't enough for provider to do their "upgrade' :).

Yeah I have folded when I had the nuts before. When my wi-fi connection lost signal and I folded a straight on the river.

Only are things of the game as well there possibilities for many , and good I confess that they are things that happen to us , but we must take the example , considering many losses not to stumble again with the same and be strong for the new game.!!

when i started playing on my notebook i also made a lot of mistakes when it came to clicking, on occasion after 4 hours in the tournament a few steps from itm ... BUUUUUUM made a mistake at the time of the click, at the moment I'm more adapted the mistakes are more deep....
I hope one of these hours I can accidentally get it right
