We know that usually when playing poker online, we are presented with options during the game (fold) (check) or (raise)

but I have heard that when a poker player presses the (fold) button, the (raise) option miraculously and unexpectedly works

Has this ever happened to you and what could be the explanation?

Have you heard of the scandalous live poker games where someone decides to fold but 2 seconds later changes their mind and raises? And he has succeeded !

IDK if this is actually what you are talking about but depending on how long you press the button, you're able to change your mind.

I remember some old computers had loopholes where pressing enter or even something random would confirm a poker hand action

This is the first time I've ever heard of such a thing. If you mean that a player wanted to hit “fold” but changed his mind at the last second and hit “call” or “raise”, I've had a few times like this. And I was winning those hands. But it was only because of my intuition. :unsure:

If you are playing on an ipad or iphone you have to be very careful when pressing the correct button. Many times I have pressed the wrong button simply because a knuckle or little finger got in the way (these units are too sensitive).

Several times it happened that my mouse started to live its own life at the most crucial moment, and it was a shame. I immediately replaced the mouse with another one, but I missed the situation.
