Poker superstitions

Do you have any superstition when playing at a tourney? Do you always do something either at the beginning of play or during the game?

Mine is I will always play the first hand of any tourney if the bet is under 100 no matter what I have.

Mine is silly.

In the tournament lobby I've never been ITM when I forgot to sort out player from first position to last.
Moreover when the site has a sort for the hi/lo stacks and for players at my table (like party poker does) I always sort them the same way as I do for the "all player list".

Always from first to last player. Other side doesn't work.

I've warned you it was silly

re: Poker superstitions

my 1st goal is to get to the final table position and stay there.

Also another superstion i have is when i am playing LIVE you can not sit by any big stacks it is just imntiminating to me. I like being surrounded by short stacks all around.
The only way to surround yourself with short stacks is to win lol. and then have a beer . Do you play on pokerstars killer. I think i played in a tourney just recently with you.

superstitions.

I dont have any superstitions. I think it is more in the type of cards you get and how you play them. Building your stack by winning little amounts at a time is easier than getting lucky... and just because you wore one sock and won on Tuesday doesn't mean that you can do the same on
Thursday. I think sometimes get used to winning by doing a certain thing so they start playing more loosly thinking they cant be beat. And after a while they notice they are loosing money and that superstition doesn't work. So are they going to try another. I think that you will cost yourself money if you think you can't lose by doing one certain thing.

My superstition: never go all-in with 27 offsuit. I know, it's crazy, it's just been an unlucky thing for me.

re: Poker superstitions

I don't eat before I play. I seem to do well when I play hungry. Don't aske me why. When I finally lose, I'll usually say "well, now I can eat!"

Online : if I check, I tap the check button twice with the mouse,as if I was checking in a live game. And if multi-tabling, all my seats must be in the same position..

Live : I have a lucky 50c casino chip I won off a split pot at the Gold Coast Casino which I keep in my back pocket whenever playing poker, never comes out onto the table, just stays in my back pocket.

Not like a card protecter, just a good luck charm..

Haha. I was at the casino playing 5/10 Limit when I won that chip. I remember the hand so perfect because I flopped a 10 high straight, then the turn was a 9 and river was a 10 meant the board had a straight and I split the pot with the other guy.

So really its that lucky a chip....
