Ever click the wrong button?

[MRoper18]

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!

that blows

I played with a maniac who must have clicked "call any". Ahaha.. It was funny to say the least. I don't think he expected the guy before him to push'em in because I doubt he'd have instacalled with 33.

Never know though.

here's a good tell on ultimate bet, miniview (and possibly full table view but i haven't played that way in so long i can't even remember):

the problem arises from the way UB designed the action button area. before an action, you have the default options to check in advance, etc., followed by the game check options, one of which is auto-post blinds. the tell is this: when someone posts a dead blind to enter the game on the first hand in which they sit down, the auto post blind button is unchecked. occasionally, the play will have advanced in the small amount of time that this player can check this option. when this happens, the new layer appears and the same clickable area is the minraise button now, and the autopost blinds has been hidden by the new layer. so, whenever i see someone sit down and play their first hand w/ deadblind AND they make an immediate minraise, I know it was unintentional most of the time. it's up to me to decide what to do with it there, but i tend to bet back really hard if i can possibly isolate to him at all. it's horrible UI design to do it like this, there is no way it should work like this, but it is what it is. i like UB software a lot, but this is a glaring hole.

[Theeggman]

That sucks hard. That's why I don't click the pre-action buttons at all. I've been burned like that before too.

But where I think you really went wrong was here:

Ive never done this before, over 10's of thousands of hands. Then i read this post.

...Then a few hours later my gf rings me and as im on the phone i missclick and re-raise someones huge overbet on the river... he calls and im down a stack.

[sejje]

Last night I was raising some junk (T3o) to 4 dollars, and accidentally raised to 44.

Of course it didn't fold everyone, and some schmuck raised to 68 and was all-in.

I cussed, wept silently, and folded the hand.

Maybe I should use the slider bar. But man, I despise the slider bar.

[SinkRox]

sejj you must of had very close pot odds to call vs an overpair and im sure odds to call on overcards.

One other thing: I hardly ever tilt.. i may very occasionally from making a very bad call... but this missclick got me tilted like a tropper

[spino1i]

I'm glad I havent made this mistake in a long time heh. I used to, it probably cost me 100$ all-in-all.

just call
people will think you're a retard and won't respect your raises
this is how you get your big hands paid off

[dsaxton]

I misclicked and folded the nut flush (no board pair) once with this guy betting huge into me.

[Lukie]

I've never misclicked anything, but I do have a habit of mistyping things from time to time. I've raised to $44 instead of $4 preflop in NL100 a couple times. A couple weeks ago I was playing a tourney on pacific, was maybe 2nd or 3rd in chips, down to 2 tables. First prize is $2,500. There was an early position raise, call, and reraise. I'm looking at K3o and go to hit 'f' to fold but instead I hit 'r' and min-re-reraise the majority of my stack. The flop comes down Kxx, checks to me, I put in the rest of my chips and get called by KQ and AK, one of which was the chip leader. End of tourney for me.

Eh, they'll probably think you're retarded anyway for folding like that :P

[BIGandRICH]

i used to make mistakes like that, and they cost more than i was happy about.

Rule 1: Never use instant action buttons
Rule 2: When betting/calling, always double check the amount

Edit: My most memorable mistake of this kind was with 22, I intended to limp and fold if i didnt catch a set. The player before me pushed all in and i didnt realise. So i called it and nearly shat myself. I punched a few things, then looked at the result. I'd doubled up unimproved, turns out the idiot had pushed with 92.

Yeah, but then they won't see a crap hand on you. Just call, and then play tight. When you're in the pot people will think "Oh, it's the T4o dumbass again, I'll take all of his money"

But if you fold people will peg you as a person who always folds... like a weak tight passive :/

I'd rather have an aggressive image while not playing many hands at all

i used to make mistakes like that, and they cost more than i was happy about.

Rule 1: Never use instant action buttons
Rule 2: When betting/calling, always double check the amount

Rule 3: When multitabling with overlapping screens, right click to change tables. I've occasionally left clicked over an action button when I didn't mean to(props to someone else here who suggested this - sorry I don't remember who).

[outphase]

I was clicking between windows when a game popped up and I accentally called a pf raise with T2o. Flop came T26, original raiser bet, I said "whoops, misclick" and went all in, he called with AK.

[underminedsk]

Ive only made this mistake twice. The first time, I had just sat down at a NL50 table and I meant to bet 11 and I bet 44 by accident. Of course the guy had a monster hand, and my stack got owned so hardcore after I pot committed myself to the hand with that mistake. I was a bit mad at that one.

The other one was funny and just damn lucky. I was at NL50. I get Kh Th in mp. UTG raises 8xbb. I'm multitabing with overlapping windows and it pops up just as im clicking a button on another game, making me call his $4 raise. We go three way to the flop and it is Ts 6h 2h, giving me TPGK and a flush draw. I have the preflop raiser on an overpair to my tens after that stiff preflop raise UTG, but he only bets $4 so I call. Then I proceed to hit a runner KT for a full house and crack his aces.

These days I'm more careful. It's just not a good feeling to randomly give your stack to some guy on dumb things like mis typing/clicking.

[realgenius]

I've done this a few times, but luckily it was only in SNG's so i really didn't lose anything. I'd cry if I did it in a ring game.

[sejje]

I've also folded the nuts a few times on accident. The other day I folded AA on a K-high flop on accident, had the guy on AK.

I also folded top set on a drawless board to a huge bet a few nights ago.

I wonder how much those kinds of mistakes have cost me since I started?

You gotta call here... pot size at $112+limpers/blinds, $24 to call. That's almost 5:1 on your money...

[mouteut]

It hapened to me once.....i wanted to click the call button to call the BB and someone raised huge.

But fortunatly for me i was quick enough to cancel it

[Laeelin]

mine could have been a lot worse... CALLED the river with stone cold nuts.

had 4 of a kind, raised on the river, was reraised, and clicked the %^$# call button.

however after reading this i'm just happy I didnt click fold =)

[EricE]

I accidentally called PF the other night with K3. I was clicking over from another window. The buttons won’t take a click w/o window focus but apparently the checkbox will. Anyway, the flop came 33x. I ended up taking down a nice pot.

[Dassin]

I accidentally called a 5xBB raise with 65s, meaning just to call the blind. Flopped 4 to a straight flush, turn brought my straight flush. Good times

[DimitriT]

First to act, I misclicked and minraised J4s rather than fold PF. I got three callers and the flop with something like A K 9. So I bet 1.5x the pot and took it down

[ChezJ]

i get this problem on party a LOT: i go to type in an amount like ".75" and it doesn't register the "." so then i use my mouse to try and highlight the amount so i can retype it, and it interprets the mouseclick as a commitment to bet $75!! this has happened twice where everyone just folded to me, thank god, and once more when i got called and totally lucked out against a superior hand. from now on, i'm using the slider.

Let me first explain.
My favourite hand in poker is J3. Ive caught so many monster flops with j3 on the bb it makes me wet myself when i pick it up. (its now my random raising hand)
Secondly my unluckiest hand is 10 4 off. This simply becasue now many (surprisingly many) times ive caught two pair with this ahnd in hu and mtt etc and been busted for a whole lotta chips.
Now my very recent wrong button.
<dealer>miffed22001 sits down.
<dealer>terryrandombobnoob is all in for 45bbs Or sommet stupid.
<dealer>miffed22001calls
random folds etc.
flop 10 10 10 (opponent has A9 off)
<miffed22001>would you believe me if i said that is my most uinlucky hand and i pressed the wrong button?
<terryrandombobnoob>No i fking wouldnt you fish. What you calling all in with 10 4 for you pr**k.
<miffed22001> lol it was an accident!

My unlucky hand is still unlucky but damn, i'd just got runner runnered and wasnt happy (not quite tilting, was intent on sitting down playing tight and hoping to erase the bad beat) then i went and did that. When i pressed it i uterly shat myself.
Never again.

He's calling you stupid for calling wtih T4o but he went AI with A9o? LOL

[Miffed22001]

exactly what i thought
Knowing my luck tonite hed have caught the quads

[EurekaKid]

This has happened to me numerous times, now I always make sure that if I am autochecking boxes that the action is at least two seats away from me and if its not I wait for everyone to act then act in my turn.
