STUPID mistake!

    Default STUPID mistake!

    Ok, so I'm playing micro-limits just to get my discipline under control. Actually doing quite well, PT stats up to nearly 1,000 hands and I'm showing profit of about +8 BB/100. I am happy.

    I get dealt Q8. PokerAce decides to crash and an application error window pops up in the middle of my screen. I go to click "close", and _just_ as I do, my poker window pops up a split second before I push the mouse button so I actually click in the poker window in error.

    What button do I hit with my Q8. Fold? No, fate isn't that kind. The sodding call button. And has the pot been unraised preflop so I just call the big blind and see the flop? No. Somebody has gone all-in, and has me covered.

    So, they turn over AA, I turn over Q8, everybody laughs at me, and inevitably my BB/100 goes from +8 BB/100 to -2 BB/100 in one hand.

    That sucks big time. Sorry man. I made a couple misclicks last night playing 3 tables for the first time. I think I have to make sure I click on the title bar just to be certain going forward. I also bet $5 instead of .50 into a .50 pot. Luckily the guy didn't call because I had nothing at all. I usually bet $1 in any pot less than $1 just because it's quicker and easier.

    earlier today i was dealt AKo in LP and there was a raise and a push before me but i didn't have the window up, and right as I went to click something else...the window popped up and i clicked call by accident (he only had like $7 against my $30 though).....the raiser folded

    I rivered a king to win (he had AQ, so I was going to win anyway)

    I think people kill themselves looking at PT and bb/100 every 5 hands. Stick to making correct decisions and maybe at the end of the week or month, look at these things.

    you think that's bad, I hit "call" while at a $2k guar't final table, and practically de-stacked myself on a hand I shouldn't have, costing myself ~$400
    take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

    ... not if the river was a Q?

    I've accidentally called $15 and $25 bets while multi tabling NL and SnG's. It's embarrasingly easy to be in the early blinds in the SnG and click over to the NL table and see 15 chips instead of $15.
