Praying to God before playing poker

Have you been try to pray before playing poker? Just wanna hear your thoughts guys about this..I saw some they also do crucifix sign.

it seems like a good idea, gonna try it later

You can not meddle with God in the cards. It is possible to pray for a sober mind, a cold blood, but not as luck in cards.

Theme is not about sports so to.na my opinion for her is another place.

Before playing poker you need to pray to Satan, not God!

God is on the other table, no time to answer

No - I never pray to any God - even when I am not playing poker.

One time in the live main event $60,000 gtd. Before I begin to play in day 1 my staker told me to go aa to Church before playing, then I follow my boss of course..So far I played more 10times+ main event with huge buy-in, that was my first time to qualify on final day and my first time to get ITM in the big event as well. Just share my experience about praying before playing poker :-)
For me I don't believe it was effective despite of my principle, I just follow order of my boss..Let me share also what I feel while I'm playing that tournament, day 1 level 15..I was the shortest stack with 1 BB left, I'm card dead and thought that praying wasn't too effective but I'm still alive then I got KJ hearts thought it was my last hand UTG position and shove and just got 1 caller the big blind duty calls with K5o..flop is K,8,5 with one heart and runner runner hearts lol..next I'm the BB with JJ against AK and double up again.
Got 3 hits in a row I'm SB with QQ again against JJ then I got a big pot and qualify into final day.
I know it's part of poker any possible variance to be expected but the faith I've been done of holding on until the last 1BB because your thinking you will not gonna lose or bust out in the tourney because you believe there's something happen good in your game upon prayer.But my father said it just to be happen, what do you think about other players who lose and busted out, you think all of them didn't pray?

Seems like a good idea, if you lose, it's his will, if you win, obv your mad poker skilz.

No. Who needs it?

No. I never do that.

I suspect that God won't hear you.You are not mistaken with the addressee?

No I don't pray to God before playing poker. I feel like God will not approve of me gambling. Haha

In some religions playing poker is a very big sin, so is hard to pray before comiting a sin, seem like having aces and make the fold )

you should mix god and gambling

The Church has always categorically opposed maps.

I think God should hear many other things before that

I believe in a Goddess that is like a poker RNG. It does have the ability to prefer some people to others (it prefers determined people to cowards and will alter fate at times to assist the strong-willed) but not a God who you just pray to and immediately gives what you want.

Goddess RNG is someone who you don't pray to but rather you talk to and need to hear her back. She gives clues, from repeating numbers to strange combination of "coincidences" that only will make sense to you and which you will think you're going crazy for interpreting the correct way.

Don't fear being insane, fear being a loser for life. Fate helps the strong-willed but is unbiased until you prove that willpower.

It is not good to mix religion and faith with games. My opinion.

I'm a Christian but I don't believe God cares whether I win or lose playing poker.

I believe in God but i never praying to him before playing poker )

I really dont think God has the time to help my horrid poker game. He can wait till I die then teach me for an eternity.....because that is what it would take!

Norman Chad is the man.

"I'm not sure who the Lord is listening"

Yes, I prayed and helped me in the game more than once

I do not think you should involve God in any kind of game, God has more important thing than you win or not in a game. my opinion

If there is a little understanding in life, then perhaps you should know that God and gambling are incompatible things! That kind of nonsense,learn to separate flies from cutlets,and then in the head instead of brains will be mush! P.S. the Devil pray more correctly and more effective!

You can pray to anything if it calms you good for you ...But you really think god would pick winners ...What if all the players prayed .What!.. God has a counter, counting the prayers of one verses another,.... oooh I like his a little more then yours ...Busted aces ..you go to poker hell because you didn't grovel hard enough...really.. ... what if one player beats his wife ,...but he prays really really really hard ...All good...... Royal flushes every hand.... Do you really think god picks winners ..When football players come off the field and thank god for their win,... do you really think god thought ...screw the other guys....They didn't pray as hard as my guy did ,,We play poker ,,Thank god, or thank Krishna, or thank chucky cheese..all good that being said ..yes when I am in a situation that I think yup this could be it this might be the end ,I pray I pray for a way out .so far my prayer has been answered ...or not ...nobody really knows but if you think god gives a shit about poker ..let me remind you that jesus upturned the tables on this point ,,, stick to praying to the poker gods ..or fortune cookies .. or astrology

I did not even think about it, I think prayers and gambling are incompatible.

and just when I said god doesn't pick winners the big wind storm in my area knocked down the power lines 5 min before I could register in todays free roll.. see god knocked out the power to thousands ...just to teach me a lesson......see how that works ...chucky cheese got pissed

Hilarious, lol.

I don't think players should be praying before or during poker.

I pray all the time.

''I never pray to any god''

If god was on another table i would be going over to have a word or two with him.lol

You can call this meditation, but not prayer. Meditation to tune in to the game.
