YOU GUYS (AND GALS) HAD ME IN TEARS!!
So I just got eliminated in the SB CC free roll. 18 left and I'm in the SB with J7 s. I should have just folded but I called to see a flop. BB shoves and I go to sigh fold. I accidentally minimize my window while clicking fold ( I thought). Turns out call was in the spot fold was moments ago lol. BB has A10 flops an ace and I'm donzo. Anybody else ever misclick for their tournament life online or am I the only bonehead?
Very first time this ever happened to me was on BetOnline - exact same interface as SB. My mouse slid over to the call button when I was frustratingly folding. I called a BIG bet with 9 high! Ended up taking 2nd in that tourney - somehow? on only one bullet.
Quite a few times.. It does work out sometimes lol
One of the worst - was I called a shove with 6/3 off from bb - guy of course had AA. We both made the wheel - but I had the 6! lol - just so terrible. I know that guy instantly marked me as a total fish.
I haven't misclicked too often but a few times I didn't see a preflop raise to my right.
I have done this several times as well, usually from running a higher number of games than I'm comfortable with. I end up not seeing there are 3 people in the hand - I only see one other - and think I can run a successful semi-
bluff. It nearly always doesn't get through.
My worst misclick was in a cash game, and I did not even notice it, until I reviewed my session, because I was multi tabling with my tables stacked in top of each other. When the session was over, I looked in PT4 and was like "why I am down this much, and what is this hand, where I lost a whole 100BB stack with 66???"
I then looked at the hand, and it turned out, I had defended my BB with 66, the flop came TT2 or something similar. I had checked, and Villain checked back. Turn was a 9 or something, I had checked again, and now the Villain had gone all in for 15 times the pot. Which I had accidentally called and paid off his TX, that flopped trips and decided to play it in this rather bizarre way. Arrrrrghhhh!!!!
Just the other day I was cooking while playing (so stupid!) I heard the turn notice - I came over to the computer - HEY! what do ya know rockets!
I raise it up a little more than normal to charge a station that never folds.
He calls - I run back to flip the steaks, run back - and see the flop is rainbow with a K - and I'm facing a big bet. I went to 3bet - only to realize my AA was actually A/4!!!!! baaaaa!!
FOLD!!!!
So many times. It happened again a few days ago, I was trying to click on a YouTube video just as action folded to me. The window popped up in front of the web browser and my mouse just so happened to be right where the "call" button was.
Sadly yes in a 4.40omaha tourney final 5
Went to click raise (while typing) and accidently shoved all-in on river with nothing and got called and busted, worse one i had so far
No more typing during multi table.. lol
For the longest time - I could not get the hotkeys on SwC turned off - no matter what settings I changed. So often when playing a SwC game - and typing notes on an opponent in another client - hitting the enter key - auto min-raised as soon as the SwC game became active.
I finally found the correct button to turn that auto-min-bet off, but I did it so many times - I think a lot of players thought I was a total chit player for a long time.
Sadly yes I have. Worst time was not 100% my fault though. My daughters cat jumped up and I folded pocket kings preflop. Dam cat. LOL
My boy kitty - The Moch - likes to sit in my lap while I play - one time while playing his foot hit whatever hotkey is min-raise an ACR game. I was a little perturbed - since I had just hit trips, and I wanted to check raise. Instead I won a much smaller pot because my betting line was all wrong.
I have done it pretty regular, I usually sit towards the tv and turn to see the computer and use my mouse. I sometimes fold so many times in a row i get used not not moving my curser. Then when I catch nice cards....ooops
Me too brother - me too!
Best way to avoid this in my opinion is to tile your poker table windows instead of having them on top of each other. This helps you not have to hit moving targets when trying to click the fold button. One of the better moves I have made was buy a large monitor, wasn't too expensive and now all my tables I play are clearly visible during all times.
That's my setup - two 36 inch monitors! I'm an art guy - so big monitors are a requirement, I run 6 tables comfortably on my main - and the lobbys, youtube and documents on my second.
Recently though - I've been fat fingering bets. Instead of betting 255 accidentally miss the second 5 and end up min-betting instead - SO FRUSTRATING! I have to slow down.
