How do you handle your "misclicks"? Bluff, suckout, sheepishly fold?

Hello multitabling compatriots...

I can't be the only person who occasionally "misclicks". Since I tend to keep it at 3 tables it doesn't happen too often anymore....maybe 1 misclick per every 5 hours of multitabling play....but still it happens and I think there may be an opportunity for some strategy once you get over the frustration of having totally F*#ked up.

Obviously there is no strategy to apply if you misclick to accidentally call an all in....that's just luck of the draw.

But what about the other times? I find the most common misclick for me is somebody raised and I accidentally hit "call" instead of "fold". So usually, I'm playing a raised pot in position with rags. On the surface not great...

but then if you get to thinking about it...not all that different than setting up an elaborate "float" bluff.

So, a little about me and my game, I probably don't bluff enough. I semi-bluff quite frequently but rarely do I run an actual planned out total bluff. I've messed around a few times lately with my misclicks trying to make lemonade out of my lemons and turn them into "float" bluffs and it works surprisingly well.

it goes something like this: flat the preflop raise (on accident? or not...)

flat 100% of Cbets on the flop.

if they check the turn, fire 2/3 the pot EVERY TIME. fold if you encounter any resistance after your turn bet (unless you get massively lucky and suck out...which also happens sometimes and is totally fun!).

that is one way to handle your misclick.

what else do you guys do? Do you just fold on the flop and curse yourself? Do you try to pot control/bluff catch if you catch a piece of the flop?

I don't see your question but I likew your solution, and will use it myself in the future, Most of my "miscliks" are going to preclik on rthe call at the same nanosecond the seat with the action pending raises and i end up calling the big raise instead of limping in for the BB.

Same, I simply think about what range I would flat with in that spot. Then if a favorable position to rep comes up, exploit it.

Alternatively you can get a really great spot with say T4o flop AT4 and you smoke someone and show the whole table that you flatted T4. Now you grab extra bb's from folks who think you're a complete idiot.

Click to expand...

You should never be limping for the BB anyway

once per 5 hours only playing 3 tables is a bit too much.

For me prevention is better than the cure, so heres a few tips to help you multitable better and stop misclicking so often. Just to give an example, i knowingly misclick around once per week and usually play anywhere from 8-14 tables 6max.

Here are times when i seem to misclick often.
1. When i am playing tired or not totally immersed and focused on my play.
2. When i am rushing and not going through my routine each hand.
3. When my software fails.


These are my main three when it comes to multitabling errors.

So to prevent these...

1. I have a warm up routine, it's actually very simple. I have a few areas i work on each week, but before i load games i run over any type of poker hands to help kick start my brain.

2. I have a routine that i follow on each hand before i click. What i try to do is look first at position, then stack size, then whos behind me, then back to cards then click the button. This sounds like a lot to go through and it is, however it helps with a lot of things and helps me to never really misclick and never really pass up on marginally +Ev situations. Like, if i just look at cards first, it's so easy to just get in the habit of smashing the fold button as fast as i can go. with the routine above i very rarely miss a spot to open raise and i very rarely misclick if i am playing well.

It is a lot to process on each hand and does take a bit of a toll when playing multiple tables for hours, however it is trainable. After a while of doing this each hand it becomes natural and does not take as long to process each time.

3. This is an easy one to solve. Get the right equipment/computer for the job. 99% of the time when i multitable and something goes wrong/misclick it's to do with software errors. So make an effort (if you use software) to set it up to the best of your ability. Also make sure your computer can handle what you throw at it, there have been times when my computer memory simple collapsed from playing too many tables with a lot of software running on it.




Hopefullly this gives a little bit of insight into the things i work on to ensure not only that i don't misclick very often, but also to play well consistantly.


And to answer your question above, just go with the flow. So if you misclick call someone on a flop, pretend you just floated him, if he gives you an opportunity to bet then do so, but obviously there is no need to go crazy trying to chase the pot, at the end of the day you just have to take your medicine and limit the amount you lose in the hand. But i mean the best way is to just go with it and play it the most profitable way you can, it's essentially the same as normal but you are playing cards you normally wouldn't have.

It happen to me once i,missclick A2s<AK allin pre,nothing i can do about it LOL very early in micro tourney.OK to answer your question ,i would do almost the same but maybe a fold if villain raise big on turn.

how do you handle miscliks

You said I should never limp in for the BB, I would ask you why not? I mean if I'm in a MTT and the blinds are low, and it is a limp pot, and I can see the flop for just calling the BB what is wrong with that? I have limped in with a pair of deuces and flopped quads, or with a baby suited connector, I might not want to gamble on something like a 3 4 suited cause even if you hit a flush on the flop too many cards beat your baby flush, but what about that 1 in a thousand flop of A 2 5 of the same suit?
