Yikes – I didn’t have a good night at Hold’em Poker

Sad Poker Story: Clicking the Wrong Button

I want to scream!!!! I was playing $0.01/.02 no limit hold’em at 770 Poker, a French online poker room, because they gave me $5 for free (no deposit) for signing up. I had started off poorly and was down to less than a dollar when I amazingly turned things around due to extremely tight play. After a [...]
