What's the worst moment you've had in a pool game - caused by your own error.
In real pool - I lost the final of a pub pool tournament when I carefully potted black without noticing I still had a ball in the lip of a pocket. I wondered why there was a gasp all around me when I lined up for the black. And then I punched the air thinking I'd won £200 and noticed that lots of people were holding their hands over their mouths and shaking their heads.

And in Funkypool, during a semi-final, I flicked 'play online games' key to see who was in the other semi. In a moment of curiosity, I clicked on my opponents name on that screen, to see if would give me a shortcut to his ranking. I immediately found myself WATCHING the game I was already playing, instead of playing in it. The screen went to practice table and my oppo was saying 'wtf happened'. Then system dq'd me for non-attendance. He was saying 'that's not fair m8 - ul' and I just said 'oh well' and sat thinking MORON.

Absolutely classic!!
Still, never mind. Just think of all the amusement you provided for the friends and families of the regulars when they heard about it later that night. I think you may have a strong case for reclaiming some of that money, for being the entertainment!!

Declined tournament finals accidentally on purpose.
Given 950 ish rank away within a week again accidentally on purpose just to see what people would say with an account with 50+ tournament wins and 500 rank (novice)

the worst thing i've done cringe-wise was pot the white into a middle pocket while trying to pot a colour on the otherside of pocket. I think every1 does it once but its so embarrasing you wont do it again :)

Missing an easy black for a run out was pretty demoralising, but i'd say the stupidest thing i've done is missing the black altogether in the deciding frame of a tourney semi-final.
In the real world, playing snooker, I thought i'd try and be clever and swerve round the black to hit the red i wanted. But I just smashed straight into the black and left the red and lost after having a 25 point lead.
