    Hey Heartache, be sure to not stack your multiple screens so that the action buttons overlap in any way. I can pretty easily fit four screens on my 19' monitor so that the buttons do not overlap.

    The worst is when you make that other-window-popped-up mistake, raise by accident, and then feel obligated to turn the blunder around by making the most out of the situation.

    I've been known to push hard with trash and never shut down after making this silly mistake. Love it when it works, hate myself when it doesn't.

    Somewhat along the same line, I have a Mac. So, I have to run VirtualPC in order to play at home since nearly all sites are written for PCs and not Macs. Anyway, it is kinda the same thing. If I have clicked out of the VirtualPC shell to surf the Web or something like that and it is my turn to act, VirtualPC will try to steal focus and I have been known to mis-click and call a huge bet or re-raise on accident with trash. Occasionally it will work out in my favor, but usually does not. The Apple Wireless Mouse is also very sensitive, and I have also been known to raise on accident in the act of moving my mouse to the "FOLD" button. Again, feel compelled to finish the hand once it happens, but don't have a ton of luck winning the hand as a result. But, yes, it happens to me too and it is a total steam event.

    I can tell you I folded after putting a player all-in for about 1.5k in chips and it was only 180 more to me. I had top pair and once it was over ,of course, couldn't get a 'real' answer from the guy who said he went in with A10 (Ace high hand). very much a big problem and it was due to the fact that I was getting fancy and playing 2 tours at once. 1 was a 'free' WSOP event and the other was the 20k. The mistake was in the 20k. I will no longer tax my pea-brain with multiple tables.
