A Valuable Lesson Learned

I was playing in a satellite into the FTP's 200k Guaranteed. It's early and I'm at average stack. Meanwhile, I'm also playing in a cash game (I will often multi-table a tournament and a low, no-limit cash game. Keeps me playing tighter so I don't donk of my chips by being bored. In the cash game I'm dealt a pretty bad hand, and I'm about to fold it. Suddenly, the tournament window pops open and I accidentally re-raise someone with 45o. I was pretty much all in and had a gutshot straight after the flop so I put in my remaining chips and said good bye.

When playing more than one table, make sure the windows are staggered so you don't accidentally act on the wrong table because it pops up.

That is my public service announcement.
