No margin for error

When you enter a tournament with one minute left in the late registration period, as I did last night, you leave yourself with no margin for error. Any mistake will be magnified, since by definition you'll be one of the short stacks. Unfortunately, I fell victim to a fingerfehler. On a hand where I was dealt pocket nines, there was an ace but no nine in the flop. An opponent made a big bet, and I folded. Rather, I was trying to fold, but somehow clicked the call button instead :-( That left my stack on life support, and it gave up the ghost not longer afterward. The silver lining was that the tournament had a $50,000 BI+EF instead of a $200,000 one.
