No, because it always shows on screen but I won by misreading my hand once though.

This demonstrates contempt for the opponent. But the opponent, having only 1 BB remaining, should already be psychologically prepared to be eliminated from the ongoing game. For the weak, defeat is certain. For the strong, victory and conquest!

Poker pro Annette Obrestad once famously won a low stake 180-person online tournament without looking at her cards (I think with the exception of one hand).

Do it now and then just for fun, only at low stakes though.

Have you ever won a hand without looking at your cards?
For me 1 time when the opponent have 1 BB left
I've never done that. Is it something like an obstacle course game?
Alternatively, you can try playing with the monitor turned off, focusing on the sounds :)

Yes, that happened. When I was distracted, my opponent would go all-in, and I would automatically call and win with useless cards in my hand.

I had a case when I didn’t play in the Saturday freeroll at 888 poker, I was registered in the casino freeroll for 1K dollars and got into the prize zone and won 1.20 dollars.

Never that, I've always looked at my cards before playing, but sometimes you're at several tables and you have to make the fastest decision or you'll fold, that could be where you play without looking at your cards many times.

Of course, especially when playing multiple tables, sometimes we can't keep up with the outcome of the hand.

Sometimes poker isn’t about what you hold, but about what you represent. The right timing, a confident bet, and reading the situation can be enough to take the pot. It’s a reminder that poker is a game of decisions and psychology not just cards.

I've won several times, even accidentally pressing "all in" without meaning to.

Yes, but it’s not a serious strategy to win in the long run, and it doesn’t mean he knew he was going to win.

This only happens when you go all-in automatically, with a short-stacked opponent. It occurs a lot in the 888 and ACR freerolls.

I probably should. Some days this game can be so hit and miss, it really doesn't matter what you do.
