Two Misclicks

When you play a lot of tables at once, one thing you need to factor into the decision is that you will occasionally make mistakes. And I don’t just mean poker mistakes like missing a value bet, I mean actually “Oh crap I clicked call and meant to click fold” mistakes. It’s really pretty ridiculous to think what a mistaken click can cost you, but it’s better not think about it that way. Misclicks are just a cost of doing business.

Honestly, I don’t make them that often, but in the past week I have had two comical ones. The first was especially cool because I called so quickly on the end. It must have tilted the hell out of the other guy:

BB ($1540.50)
UTG ($247.25)

MP1 ($528.25)
Hero ($1047)

This one I guess is funny if you aren’t me. Once again I snap-called the river, this time with the nut low:
