...that if you play on Full Tilt, and read a thread on the BrM-forum at the same time, the "call" button on Full Tilt appears in the exact same position on your screen as the "go to next page" button on the bottom of the forum page!! So you're reading... you want to go to the next page of the thread... the poker table pops up... I didn't know. But I do now.

So how much did you end up calling? It would be funny if you called the bet by mistake and ended up taking down a huge pot, the people at the table would think your a maniac

Well obviously it depends where you place the full tilt window but I have done something along those lines. I can't remember how it happened exactly but the game popped up and I accidentally went all in with 6 3 or some similar rubbish hand but I was lucky no one called.
I change my settings so games don't pop up if I can but the worst is party poker, it pops up all the time even when it isn't your turn.

It helps to know that one is not alone...

Yea, that would've been hilarious. But no, half my stack went, and I folded when the all-in came after the flop.

Doesnt it depend on where you position your tables? I usually dont have my IE open to maximum, only like half of my screen so i dont think it affects me .

happened to me worse =p i was checking for another table to join and when I was clicking on it, the table where i was playing pop-uped and i called an allin with J3s. I prayed a lot for the flush but the other guy with AA pwned me
LOL this actually happened to me a couple of weeks ago, i called a HUGE reraise out of positon at NL25 by accident, had more than half my stack in the pot.... with 96c .... somehow i hit a MIRAAACLE flop of 7c8cAd, i make PSB & villain moves all in & i instacall, turn is a blank ... river is the 10 of clubs!! making a straight flush on the end to pwn his set of aces Never got so lucky in my life, yet the chat box almost exploded "idiot, donk, fkin FISH!!!" haha It actually worked out greatly to my benefit, i play very TAG & they just thought i was a maniac fis so nobody on the table was repecting any of my raises lol made almost 5 buy ins on that table

LmAo! Involuntary donkism, I think it's called. It was a $5 s&g and if I remember correctly I had 10 2o or something like that. And I never picked myself up after that. But I'm thinking, maybe this happens all the time, and there are no such thing as donks. Just alot of people going "Oh f#@%!", but then get lucky..?
------------ On a side note, I think we should get admins comment on this! It could be another conspiracy; FT pays BrM big bucks to position key buttons on certain places on the screen!

Happens to everyone, but it's always funnier when you see someone else do it.
