Did it happen to you, that you made a mistake and you found yourself in the cool down phase?

I was on pokerstars today and when I tried to close a window I probably accidentally clicked the 24-hour lock on Pokerstars. Not that it's that bad, but it occurred to me whether this may have happened to others before. And I would like to know from you what you think that this option is available on PokerStars. Personally, I think it's good. Even though this mishap happened to me today. I can think that it can be helpful if people run the risk of tiling.

Ah that's unfortunate. But at least you can enjoy other stuff tonight. 😉

It happened to me before when I'm playing on my phone and doing other stuff, that I accidentally raise when taking the phone back which lost me a few chips for several times.

Last time I made an accidental Rebuy when I didn't want to. 🙃

But luckily nothing extremely happened so far.

I think it's a nice feature, especially for players who get on tilt and can't get away from the tables. As to miss-clicks, I've had my share with no unfortunate consequences. As a matter of fact, this one time, I had 92 and was going to fold of course after a raise and a call, but I hit "call" instead. The flop was : 929 ! Go figure !!!

This is why you should never fold ...
Being adventurous is much better than later (after seeing cards) regretting being naive enough to fold lol

I didn't accidentally click on the account lock, but I was playing on two tables and got confused by pressing the fold on the table where I had AA

The function itself is not bad. Especially for players who don't have control over themselves. although as a poker player you would like to have that. ;)
But this Button is very good especially for the Casino Area.
When this function was still displayed at the Table, it happened to me once by mistake.

It still is with 888 poker and especially just above the chat function, so I'm always very careful when clicking at the chat. 🙊😅

yes with 888 that's really a problem and I almost clicked on it because it's so close to the chat but since I mostly stay out of the chat and I'm always very careful there it hasn't happened to me on 888, luckily

I didn't know about this function. I always thought that you need to go to the responsible gaming section and select the took a break option.

I have never clicked on that button either intentionally or by mistake. Just out of curiosity is there a warning, if you click the button while involved in one of more poker tournaments? If there is, I am ok with the function, but if not its just terrible. Just imagine, that you have made it to the final table of Sunday Million, and then you mistakenly exclude yourself from playing it out :)

That sounds strange for me for I cannot see this tool at my mac/ios PS lobby.
