Are you superstitious? Now, how is it with you were buying a place at the table, you sit down to a place where someone lost a cell bakroll?

I will guess you are talking about live poker, so yes, I always try to get a place I like, based on the aggressive players so i will act after them. If there is no choice i will not sat for long in a bad place. I will call it experience not superstition. :)

I believe the luck factor dictates that cards run hot to either the person or the seat . Two years ago I lost $3,200 in a pot limit game . I played for 24 hours straight and I played the best poker of my life . I even sat in 4 different seats in the course of that session, but not matter what I did, I was bad beat all nite long. I finally gave up, and quit that session , realizing there was no way I could break this bad luck run for that game on that night.

If I was smart, I woulda quit when I was down about $800 , but there was so much money on the table, it was a hard game to quit. One guy lost over $7,000 that same night. It was the single worst bad beat poker session I ever had in over 30 years of play.

In my opinion the place does not matter much with Poker you will play that day, but something already realized in several live tournaments I played and that certain seat at the table has left good cards for a given place to other, perhaps this is part a variance of the game, This week I played the final of a poker tournament where I live and I received 30 hands could only play 3, for my letters are not good and the table is very aggressive.

To the left of the sharks and poor players. I like to be to the right of the nits for stealing blinds.

What do you think about where in front of you the player loses his entire stack?

I want to be left of the aggressive players, but I really like seat 5 or 6 just because I want to be able to see more of the other players.

I played live the other day and was in seat 9 next to the dealer. I'm in the BB and honestly thought it went to the flop 3 handed. Checked on the flop and turn all around. I raise the river, see 2 quick folds from the players across from me and I prepare to receive the pot. WRONG! Player in seat 1 was in the hand and made his flush on the river. I had no clue seat 1 was even in the hand!, ARGGGG!

Not superstitious at all. I do enjoy a wild erratic perhaps tipsy gathering to my right at the table other than that lets see what the cards look like and go from there.

Yes, I 'm kind of like that. But always analyze the place where I sit before.

for me it does not matter that he lost someone there.
What interests me at the table is not to get ahead of the big stack
