Lesson learned to always look at the board to see the flop before hittin all in. ... Wasn't paying attention had "AK" hit all in, there was "678" on the flop and I called a straight! That was pretty stupid!

Wanna talk about bad luck with not looking/waiting?
I was playing at a NL 100 table, (even though I only had a 130 dollar bank roll  ). I was in the small blind with 68s and I figured I would call the .50 cents just incase a miracle flop came, I would get paid. Well, anyway, the action gets round to the CO, and I go to click on the "Call .50 Cents button". I click the button and first thing I notice is that all my chips are out infront of me! In the split second it took me to call that, the CO went all in, and the button changed before I let go of my click button, and I went all in with my rags. I lost over 115 dollars because of that, and went on tilt the rest of the night losing my last 25.
I hate online poker!

I have done that. The call checkbox (before action gets to you) can change as bets are made. A couple of times I have gone to click the call $.02 check box and had it change to call $.14 (or whatever) checkbox by the time you hit it. If you click fast enough you can remedy it but if the person you were waiting on is fast, it can go through before you can correct it. Sorry, not on par with your $100 story. 
There should be a .5 second delay when the checkbox changes such that you can’t click it for .5 seconds after it changes. Hehe.

I sometimes us the auto-fold if I am multi-tabling, but I never use the auto-call. Apart from the above problem, it looks kinda weak.
In a tournament, if you auto-fold, you can miss out on good stealing opportunities if the action folds round to you.

Same holds true for a tight ring game.

loose play roxors in tight games. i wholeheartedly prefer playing in tight games rather than loose ones. my worst losing sessions are those when i dont control the table and i get swept up in the tide of other loose aggressives. OT but whatever.
