Some of you have probably seen my recent posts regarding the horrible bad luck streak Im on. To add insult to injury, today I was playing $1/$2. I went to the bathroom and when I came back I was staring at AA and my icon was blinking so it was my turn. I sat down quickly and grabbed the mouse. The curser was still on the "fold" button from last hand and my finger hit clicked the mouse as I grabbed it and I folded my AA. I am jinxed!

I am still getting used to using a laptop with the pad for a mouse. If I leave the cursor over the area where fold comes up and hit the pad too hard when I try to move it, it acts like a button click and the hand is folded. Luckily I have not been jinxed and would have lost with AA and QQ that have been folded accidentally.

(I now move the cursor into the middle of the table after each selection.)

Same issue:
Folded winner accidently on the way to the raise button with my lap top but it evened out a week later when I made a pot size raise on the way to the fold button. EP thought for a minute, than folded.
LOL
