Nothing too deep for my first thread.... Poker superstitions.

What's yours? The weirder, the better. Make me feel normal please ;)

I have to listen to the same song on repeat everytime I'm having a profitable online session, a good way to ruin songs you love!

Right now it's Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing... for the 217th time :p

I'm not superstitious, but I have all times my drinking bottle with me, and when it is empty, I lose very often, that is little suspicious, same happen if it is totally full, but if the bottle (0.5l Koskenkorva glassbottle) is 35-75% full, I win very often.
Thats very strange, just saying :D

I have a medal that was my grandfathers. I found one day looking through some stuff my dad gave me and put it in my pocket. I played some online that night and ran excellent. since then if I do not have that medal in my left pocket I never seem to hit a hand or get rivered on quite a bit

I always like to wait until all the cards are dealt to all the players before I look @ my pocket cards.Dunno why, just always did.

If I am all in pf, I find if I start thinking please no X card (whatever they need) it seems to hit so I repeat every other card in my head as the board falls, lol
I know it sounds silly but it makes me feel better and I think it works.

Interesting.....very interesting! Maybe that is why they always hit when I have them dead to one card or a 1 outer???

I don't have any superstitions, hopefully I won't develop any in the future.

I don't think this is really a superstition, but here it is...

I seem to play my A game much more when I have my headphones, and I am listening to them. I forgot the cord for them the other day, and had a losing session.

Also I used to bring sunglasses. I ran so bad every time I had them, so I leave them at home now.

Holly Shit Kenzie! Did you go to sweden? I must say, your doctor did some nice work.

You know, I don't have any real superstitions, I'm a dyed in the wool skeptic, but I do play along with some of them just for fun. I have a beat up old baseball cap that I like to wear when I'm playing and I often find myself considering playing at another venue when I'm running bad, as if that will help. Also, I have a guardian angel who whispers in my ear at the table but that's not superstitious, she's real and smokin' hot!

I dont like to get involved with the first hand of the tournament unless its just super strong.
My only other is online when I'm allin I change the screen to something else. If I win it will pop back up when it's my time to play the next hand. If I lose it wont and I eventually look back at the hand history to see what happened.
I know, pretty dumb but I guess that's why there superstitions.

Guess that is one very profitable session if you've heard the same song 217 times. :rock:

BTW, I have no superstitions... I know, weird, right? :D
