No, not THAT button...
I am crying. Sometimes in PokerRoom, when you have two windows, one will pop up when you are doing an action in the other. That can lead to folding in the wrong window.Like here:

You beauty! I hit my set and now I extract the money!
Dr Zen bets $0.25, cheef82 calls $0.25, jismbreathe bets $0.50
This guy I know to be an idiot.
vonschnappen folds, Dr Zen bets $0.50, cheef82 calls $0.50
And this guy's a very weak calling station.
It's your dream when you have a set. A lagtard who will jam it with you and a calling station who will put dead money in.

TURN [board cards 5C,6H,KC,KH ]
Dr Zen checks, cheef82 checks, jismbreathe bets $0.50
I knew the lagtard would bet it for me...
Dr Zen bets $1
... so I C/R'd him
cheef82 calls $1, jismbreathe bets $1, Dr Zen bets $1
And more! If he has K6 or K5 I'm fucked, but the chances are he has Kx, 6x, 5x, a small pair or fuck all.
cheef82 calls $1, jismbreathe calls $0.50.
RIVER [board cards 5C,6H,KC,KH,AS ]
Want to bet I can't checkraise the fucking idiot again?
Dr Zen checks, cheef82 checks, jismbreathe bets $0.50, Dr Zen bets $1
LOL. Now to rake it in. Come to poppa!
cheef82 calls $1, jismbreathe bets $1, Dr Zen folds
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I was folding trash in the other window. One bad click just lost me 13 bucks 75. I am sobbing like a child who's lost his favourite toy.
cheef82 calls $0.50.
SHOWDOWN
jismbreathe shows [ 3S,AC ]
Oh. My. Sweet. Jeebus.
cheef82 mucks cards [ 6C,QD ]
See? Called a ton of bets with middle pair.

That's my money!

Sigh. I make about 3BB/100. A bit more maybe since PokerRoom tightened up (because I play more hands against maniacs and less against suckout merchants maybe?). So I lost 300 hands' profit. (I would have netted 600 hands' worth of winnings.)
Sigh.

do the windows always pop up in the same place when they take focus? Or could you stagger them so the mouse can't hit the wrong thing? oe is it that it not only grabs focus, but sets a stupid default for what happens if you click anywhere?
I ahven't been on PokerRoom for ages, and I only ever multi-d a hold'em tourney vs an omaha tourney.
Ouch! Sorry for your luck there, dude. I don't know how some of these people play a dozen tables at a time, or whatever. When I play, I'm barely keeping track of one window.
Prolly not cut out for this poker thing :-)
Dave, they come up in the same place. I don't think you can tile them. The interface on PokerRoom is pretty but not very functional!
Looney, playing more than one table gets a lot easier. Mrs Zen had a game the other night and she's like "jeez this moves so fast, how do you keep up?" but the truth is you start being able to sum up a table at a glance and at low limits nearly all your plays are automatic.
