My favourite freak happening of this sort was when I was starting out at UB a couple of years back, I had QQ and made a big raise preflop in the 25NL game, getting two callers. The flop brings an ace, so i check and so do they. Turn is a blank, and one guy bets out the pot. I am typing something like "damn wish that ace hadn't hit", and when I look up after pressing return (I SWEAR i did not touch the mouse!) I have RE-raised for my entire stack! I was open-mouthed and aghast, and even more so when the raiser called me, and I hit a Q on the river to bust his A2.
The guy went nuts, even more so when I (truthfully) told him I had made the move by accident. I then lost patience and told him he got all he deserved calling a re-raise with top pair worst possible kicker for his stack. Certainly one of the luckiest hands i've ever played though!
On a similar note, recently I mis-clicked and called a flush draw in PLO when I knew I didn't have the odds to on the turn (it was all-in) as I was trying to fold, I was even in the midst of saying I had a flush draw to the guy who'd bet, who I knew, I accidentally called, hit on the river, and won a $150+ pot.
