The worst thing about online poker.
I hear a lot of complaints about online poker. The bad beats, the theory that the sites are rigged, the large amount of donkeys playing, the difficulty in reading players online and I am sure many more that escape me at the moment. But I never hear anyone talk about the worst thing about online poker.
Misclicks.
I don't know about the rest of you but I've never accidentally gone all in or folded a winning hand at a live table. I don't even want to think about how often I've done one of those two online. And of course if you accidentally go all in with say 3/9 offsuit everyone thinks you are the donkey of all donkeys. Try to explain it was a misclick. No one ever believes you. Or if you did have the winning hand and you fold, if the opponent was bluffing or bullying he'll think you are weak and start pushing all the time.
So what I am wondering, since I never hear anyone else complain about them, am I the only one? Does no one else ever go to hit a button only to have the tables suddenly switch with catastrophic results? I suppose I could avoid a lot of them by not playing multiple tables...but most of the time that works out just fine. It's just that when a misclick does happen it can devastate your game.
Am I really alone on this? Somebody please tell me it happens to them too.
