Had I but screen enough

Last night, I fell victim to my lack of screen real estate. I use a laptop as is, without a docking station and without a nice large external monitor (or two). Due to this, I'm constantly switching back and forth between windows, which take turns in the foreground, eclipsing the others until it's their turn again. As I've mentioned before, the PokerStars client has the smarts to thrust itself to the foreground whenever it's my turn to act. This lays the groundwork for possible unfortunate events; you can think you're responding to one window, when suddenly, you're responding to the PokerStars client instead. That's what happened to me in the second tournament I played last night. A click meant for another window was received by the PokerStars client instead, and as unluck would have it, the click was squarely on the call button. I hit the felt on that very hand.

On the plus side, I didn't have to add on once last night, so my loss was less than it otherwise would have been.
