Stupidest thing ever . . .

[LRDell]

I did a really stupid thing today and I am hoping hearing other stories of really dumb things people did will make me feel better.

While playing JoB 52 hands a 4 of a kind comes up. Well, I got do worried about when to make the screen shot (partially because I had hit a 4oK on this same game within the 2 days previous) that I FORGOT to select the four cards to hold!

Good thing I was only playing for 5 cents - lost $325.00 though.

Please tell us all the dumbest thing you ever did while on this great casino adventure.

The dumbest thing I ever did was play at Winners Playground and Crystal Palace.

Just last month, while in the rhythm of losing 10 $100 bets in a row, and with my hand beginning to shake and cursing out loud, I finally get a pat 20 and hit the hand!

I figure that cost me $200 so I hope you feel a little bit better now!

Ouch Ouch!
That gonna leave a mark.
To me, a mistake like this is far worse than loose fair and square because I'll only have myself to blame.
Normally, I try not to make any mistake at all. However, after hours of play I'll still make terrible mistakes here and there. Splitting 55 (was trying to hit double), dropping a pair and hold 2 high cards... You name it, I did it.
My worst mistake so far is to hit on 20 while playing BJ. I bet not many people have been dealed a 30

I once was playing paigow at an RTG casino and was playing $5 chips. I think this was before they had a rebet button, so you had to hit a chip every time. I was in a rhythm and by accident I hit a $100 chip and hit deal! I only had about $150 or so in the bankroll and that was the wrong color chip up there all of a sudden! Of course I lost the hand and was quite pissed. Did the same another time and pushed, so it wasn't so bad then.

LOL. I decided it was the fault of some nearby furniture and, fortunately, I happened to have a nearby sand wedge to teach the furniture a lesson. Furniture will never mis-behave again. Neither will the sand wedge.

I beat your 30 - once I got a 31 total on a doubled 20! I guess even our errors might even out.

It would be nice if all softwares popped that window up "Hey - you. Moron. Are you sure you want to do this really stupid play?" CON does that, don't they?

I know that global player's software does that on high hands and low ones when you double. High ones when you hit.

How did you manage to get a 31?? An ace would make it 21 if you hit a 20 and a 10 would have busted you.

Wow Clayman, are you becoming a bigtime player? Everyone knows your infamous for your thousands of $2 hands . I can't do too many hands as I am really suffering from RSI of late. In fact I can't really be bothered playing for the rest of this month as I've been putting too much time and not getting enough reward (3000 hands at Lucky Chance and zip ---> don't play there it really its rigged).

I was just kidding, counting the Ace as 11. How ridiculous to win a doubled 20. Must have been rigged spoftware.

What you did with your poker chip reminded me of once, after I was so excited I had won a big bet - you know - the kind that you really need to win when you are getting kind of low - I took a few minutes break, came back, and ripped off about 25 hands before I realized I had never changed my bet back. Fortunately for me, I think I won a couple more bets than I lost.

Funny how easy it is to remember all the stupid things we do.

Glad to hear global player does that - I think they all should.

In Crypto blackjack the rebet button is just above the green chip, a few times I managed to bet $25 by mistake. The first time I got BJ, but overall I am down at the $25 level.

Other memorable mistakes from the past few weeks:
I split a pair of 5's,
I split a pair of 10's against the dealer's 5, I drew a 10 on both of my 10's, so I felt pretty good, then the dealer drew a 10 and a 6,
I hit a few hard 17's, but never a hard 20, so the most I ever got was 27;
I doubled down on 10 vs 10, we both drew 10,
I doubled down on 13 vs 4 and won,
I hit a pair of 7's vs 10 in MG single deck BJ, when the correct strategy is to stand, but fortunately I got another 7.
