I am superstitious with other people , like negative or positive energy ..Sounds like nonsense thing probably it is but I don't appreciate people who always complaining and distracting me, to be around when I play.

I always change my seat position in online poker. Don’t know why. Just do. I guess if I run bad for a while I’ll change it again.

I do not have supertitions when playing, what I do have are certain considerations.

While cashing out, from a cash game one day, one of the tellers asked if I wanted a 50 dollar bill, because a lot of people dont like 50's, stating that they're bad luck. I said no sense of me rocking the boat. From that day I didnt carry any 50 dollar bills in my wallet.

I play a little better than a beginner, but I do not have any amulets. I'm not superstitious! =)

Our minds are always seeking answers to questions we cant answer like luck, superstitions etc. I've had it go both ways where you really want something to happen and it does, or sometimes it just doesn't even thought the conditions were the same. I will knock on wood sometimes but thats about it.

Nothing needed but a positive mood. Don't take much stock into superstition, earth alignment or trinkets.

Exactly! All we need is a good mood, awareness and motivation to play a good poker.

I am not superstitious but I like to be in a comfortable state of mind. The biggest hand I have been in (and lost) was about $3,500 at the $5/10 I was panicked beyond physiological comprehension. I also don't like registering early for a big tourney because it makes me breathe heavily at the table even online in the comfort of my own home.

I think being superstitious is silly but celebrating before a hand is over is borderline asking for trouble so I never do it.

Lucky Hat

I have a lucky hat. Like in the movie Over the Top with Sly Rocky. He turns on his power when turning his cap backwards. I like to think that it holds in my knowledge also. I've actually had a few lucky hats. FYI, putting in dishwasher does a fantastic job of cleaning without shrinkage.:D

Actually, I think this is not supersticious. It is just a habit, that makes you feel good at the table. Supersticiousness is something else, like believing that you always loose with Aces or something like this.
I am usually not supersticious. Well, I am aware of repeating patterns in live.
You will always look about 11:11 o'clock at your watch for example...:D

I dont really beleive in superstition much and i think its okay to have a lucky something but try to not think that a certain table or a certain thing is making you lose...luck and unluckiness come and go as quickly as a gust of wind and can change even quicker...try to focus on playing your strong range and making sound decisions and it wintw matter what shirt you wear lol

I have a group of card protectors that I rotate depending on how I've been running any given week/month etc. For example I have a knockoff lego Batman that has a batarang, I'll switch which hand the batarang is in during a tournament if things haven't gone my way. My newest one is a PocketPoP Groot!

Yeah, on 888 I do. Whenever I have half a x9 level there, I play tight, tight, tight. Why? Every single time I got to 9, 19, 29, 39, 49.. etc, the suckout hands started pouring down on me. Every single time, like clock-work. That's why I have this 'superstition" of being extra careful with those numbers.
