This ladies and gentlemen is a tale of woe, a sad and baleful story of how i lost over £200 dollars.
It all begins on the $3/$6 limit Holdem tables of VC poker, there's a good group of players and plenty of silly fish. I look at my screen and i've got those beautiful Red and Black rockets staring back at me sweet as you like.
I'm in early and so i just call knowing there are a couple of maniacs with position who are bound to raise suited anything. 3 guys call then this player on the button raises, The SB folds and the BB calls I re re raise the guy to my left is a solid player so he folds and every one else calls a re raise cold. I flop trips to a board of Kh Th Ac, i know i've got the best of it when i check re re raise and eveyone just calls.
Now turn comes Qs and now i bet out, guess what everyone of those fish call till it gets raised by the maniac on the button. I just call thinking "ah man he's got that J for the str8, but i also know he'd semi bluff the flush draw in this spot" so the perfect card fall for both of us on the river: Qh. He's fill out his flush and i've made my full house.
i bet / all the fish fold / he raises / i re raise / he re re raises / i fold by accident.
thats right folks $132 in the pot and

I'm playing two tables at once and i have to fold my hand on the other table and i press the wrong button. hows about that? i go into shock, i'm bug eyed and speachless.  No the other guy didn't have the straight flush or quads, i pinged one of the host and got her to check the hand and i would have won.
Hey things got sooo much better when on the next hand... i was tilting so badly that i folded my hand by accident again, this time pre-flop, AND guess what it was folks...
thats right AA! and i would have won too. $70.
Without a doubt the single worst 5 minutes of my entire online poker career!

This has to be the single biggest problem with online poker, i have done this twice maybe (yes i thought i'd have learned after the first time too)
The other one is playing 2 tables at once, trying to fold rags, but accidentally clicking call, just as the guy before you has moved all in 
I have yet to hear of someone doing stupid stuff like this in live play!
(with the exception of, whatshisname? that knocked Doyle out of WSOP this year cos he was too busy yapping to the rail to realise Doyle had moved all in  "I call")

Leviathan - Is that your VC handle ???

Thats me leviathan on VC
after the ultimate poker face
of a small baby.
(it's a comic by a guy called peter blegvad, google image it to see what i mean about the ultimate poker face.)
Yeah i thought that thing with Doyle was weird, the man himself moves all in and you call with A8os! They didn't show the fact that the fool was talking too much to pay attention to the game when i saw it on TV.
I've yet to call and all in by accident, but it is reassuring to know that other people have made this kind of mistake. I keep thinking that maybe there should be a safe guard, like having to double click for instance, to stop this happening.

There should be an all-in confirm....There is on UB............However, i've yet to do it on either....when i play i multi-table...but have it so that all the tables are in different places so that the buttons do not overlap, for that reason....i have called bets when trying to fold etc........However, I have yet to fold accidently....fingers crossed that never happens......
I look forward to seeing you on there.....mind you i only venture up to $1/$2 NL on VC.....yet to build my bankroll up to gamble on higher levels...so unless its a tourney, we probably won't meet.....

BEST. INTRO. EVER!!!

The intro deserved it's own response, but make no mistake about it, the rest of the post is no less fantastic.
I have folded on accident, luckily I've never played anything other than funny money and freerolls. I can understand how that would be a problem though. Sorry for the bad luck (and for LMAO ).
I have wEbMaStEr's problem more than anything. When on Pokerstars I'd try to hit the "Call X" but the split second before I do the person in front of me goes All-In and I end up calling with my entire stack with no pair or anything.

You can keep this from ever happening again for less the the pot in the two hands you dropped - just get another monitor and spread them out a little, like the operator in the matrix. Once you've got a mulit-monitor desktop, you won't go back.
