How to lose $400US in one second.

[Todd Rivers]

I was playing a $30US 27 player sit n go, and a $1/$2 cash table (9player) last night and i decided to play a $2/$4 cash table as well.

I just bought in on the 2/4 table for $400.

In the SNG i call a large raise with 66 and another player calls as well.
The flop is 6, A, 6 = JACKPOT. Turns out the original raiser has AK and the other caller has A-10, they do all the betting, I do all the calling...........

INCLUDING calling an all in with A-3 for $400 on the other table as it switches screens!

Im up against AK, bye-bye $400


This has happenned to me to a lesser extent before and I'm always aware of it but, it goes to show no matter how careful you are, things like that can still happen.

I won the SNG which got me back about $320, but thats not the point.

BE CAREFUL PLAYING MULTIPLE SCREENS

So do you layer the screens behind each other ?, then play only when the action calls for it and the screen in question comes to the front.

I thought it is more sensible resizing the screens to see all at once, harder to veiw but less chance of a mistake and you can keep an eye on all the action at once.

Yes, i do that Krunch, but in this instance, i had just openned the 2/4 table and hadn't got to re-size it yet, i just ticked the "post BB" box, so it dealt me cards. At this time i had my quad sixes on the other table and was in the middle of betting/calling action. I quickly checked my forced bet on the cash table and went back to the quads.
Whilst on the SNG, someone at the 2/4 raised to $24 and the $800+ stack moved all-in, action was passed to me and the screen changed as i was hitting call on the SNG, so i also called the allin on the cash table. Not happy Jan.

Ohh bugger

Bit of bad luck that.

As they say, higher stakes = richer idiots.

Has happened to me a few times
Now i alway cascade or tile before even playing a hand when multiple tables are up

That sucks Todd. I'm not running too well today either.

Set over set for $50. TPTK vs set for $50 (don't know what I was doing here). Top and bottom pair vs overpair, we get it all in on the flop, only for the board to pair. Counterfeited. $50 again.

Give me $150 AK, and I'll happily lose it for ya too

I can lose it just fine on my own, thanks!

Hard luck there Todd.

Even with a reasonable sized monitor (24") I still much prefer larger table windows so one of the very first things I do is disable any 'bring to front' feature. More because it's annoying than anything else.
