Hi everyone ,


Did you ever push the call button by accident and called a monster in online poker clients ?
Here's to avoid it with a trick i learned myself.

When you click on the call button , hold the mouse button down , drag the pointer to a place on the screen where there is no button at all ! And let go of the button.

The click is cancelled and you can do what you wanted to do.
Ofcourse i'm talking about a mouse click on a windows computer maybe on a Mac to .

Greetings from Dare

It has happened 2 times. One I won a big boat, the other I lost everything. Definitely not a good way to play

Lol it happens but not very much lately, it's very nice and satisfying when you win by accident, isn't it? :)

I was the BB and was multi tabling and was clicking the call button on another table when the other table popped up.

i had 2 , 5 OFF (ACTUALLY it wasNT the call button it was the raise and it was a raise after the player before me just raised.
Anywayz he called, and the flop was 2 , 5 , 5

Yes, I had this when in late position, I accidentally pressed the button and went olyn with bad cards against three and took the pot. Poker - a game and it happens such a pleasant surprise!

Had that happen to me today. Q 8 off against person to the right of me and flopped an 8 against one jack(I forgot what the villain’s kicker was) pair. I called his rather large bets twice and ended up flopping a set on the river to knock him out.

Done it a few times. Mostly when I’m tired and should be sleeping instead of penny grinding at 2am.

Done the pokerstars special as well when tired. That’s when I’m itching to insta-raise a guy the second the buttons come up and instead donkey call an opponent’s all in bet.

It happens a bit, just like hitting the fold button by accident, I accidentally folded a monster pot I would have won a couple of days ago. :(

Good tip though, thanks :)

But i'm glad i have this trick now when it succeeds by doing it right!
