Some sites have hot keys. Maybe 1, 2, or 5 is the hot key for fold.

Great point. Any chance you hit F1 instead of 1? I think that is the default option at PokerRoom. You should turn that off.

I love hot keys, they boost my errors due to misclicks/100 hands. Without hotkeys poker would be easy.

So I just got off the phone with the Pokerroom support people. After some time he finds the hand in question.

Basically what he told me was that my computer/connection was "running behind" the actual game. So as I was seeing the flop, the game was actually on the turn, as I saw the turn, the game was on the river (I don't understand exactly how this is possible as I need to act on each street before the game can progress - this is just what he said).

He said my connection was slow and that I had received a couple of warnings during the hand telling me this (possible, but I don't remember seeing them).

He then said by the time the river card fell (from my perspective) that the hand was basically over (from the server's perspective) and that my computer/connection was playing catch up.

He said I should make sure to empty out the Temporary Internet Files before I play because that can cause the game to run slow/behind the server.

And that was it - as far as compensation, I'm SOL.

Yup, that's what happens to me often. So you don't get the warning noise or anything either. As for the warning of slow connection - that doesn't seem to pop to the front so I don't see that until I close other windows. And there's nothing to do about it at that point anyway. This doesn't happen everytime I play at PokerRoom, and most of the time the hand is trash anyway, but I probably average 1BB wasted per session there.

when will people ever learn not to play on PR or pacific?
