Haha soon as I saw the thread title I knew what it was going to be about.. I was actually kinda hoping it was a HH where you played A4 thinking it was AA..

In a multitable session once (screen is 14" i got A4 i saw it of course as AA went all in with it preflop, turned to the other tables to continue playing. Then i turn back to see what happened with the all in and im out. I pulled up history, see a caller with QQ winning the hand and wondered wth has happened.

I've made that mistake once or twice myself. What I hate most of all, is multi-tabling and accidentally folding mid PP in mid/late position when it's unopened

I already played against many who used the same strategy for both hands. Once i had Ak and did normal raise pre-flop and only one guy called me. Flop come Axx. I went all-in, he had less chips than me, he thought a bit, than he called me, showed A7 and river gave him a 7 (not A4 but dumbness is the same). If you’re talking about looking at the hand and confusing A4 with AA, perhaps you should be playing with bigger Windows/tables, don’t reduce them so much. I usually have problems in distinguish clubs from spades because of that.

Played someone last night who went all in and then I followed with AA...... you can imagine the words that came from his word bubble when he turned over A4 and lost! What a gutting feeling! 100% total concentartion is the saver of the day!!
