Hello. You use any rituals, signs, folk methods when playing poker. What, who helps, gives luck in the game. Maybe a black cat, or some kind of witchcraft, a talisman for victory, or something else. I've heard that to be lucky in the game, you should always sit with your back to the moon. I am sure everyone has their own talisman for victory, tell us, please share, if you don’t mind.

To be honest I have never thought something like that can really be helpful But I never liked all the religions and beliefs, so probably thats why

I am catholic Christian, and I only believe in God, so no talismans, etc.
If i would be in a very important tournament I think I would prey before, but not in just-for-one playing

Positive thinking and visualization can really help.Not only in poker but in whole life.

To play better I try to be calm, I don't use a talisman, but any thing that can help are welcome.

I don't believe in talismans. I think that feeling good (sleep, healthy food, exercise), discipline, concentration helps better than a talisman.

I also believe in God. And on occasion I always thank him. I don't know, maybe this is not right, because poker is a gamble.
It comes out mechanically, if I win, I always think, thank God.

Yeah, I don't believe in talismans/good luck charms either. Everything I do at the poker table has a reason - a charm of some kind wouldn't be a reason for me and it would just be more to carry around.

Not really a "ritual" in the sense you were probably thinking, but I like to cap my cards with a poker chip - but this has a purpose, I don't want my hand mucked by the dealer when I wanted to play it!

My talisman is luck, and to be more specific, I always hope that my opponents will play responsibly and will not do stupid things.

I don't have a talisman. Everything I have won so far I have won patiently and calmly.

I don't have a talisman, I think the talisman cannot help in the game, the person simply believes in his help.

I have no talisman and I lose .. wait .. maybe I need one! Or if not, just learn to play correctly.

for me there is no such thing as luck or bad luck.
they do not exist

I do not believe in the help of a talisman. It all depends only on yourself and your actions.

I noticed that I had more luck in the game when I put money on my desk. for example between 30 or 40 euros. but I never needed a talisman to win.

If I have special underpants that have brought me luck.

My talisman is when I have a day off and I am home alone. But unfortunately this happens very rarely.

in poker you need a lot of dedication, patience to go with a good hand and a little luck that helps a lot lol

My only talisman is positive thinking, many times when I lack a card to complete a ladder or color, I mentally ask that the necessary card come to me, many times this strategy has worked for me

Good afternoon.Not at all!I just try my best and feel comfortable in all my sessions.

The only talisman I use to win Poker is myself, thinking about having faith in an object or believing that it will help me is not logical. But if it works for those who believe in this, keep it up, the goal is the same, to win, no matter the means.

For me, does not mean helpful, not directly, but only to keep think positively, that helps in a way

I have crystals, lucky pennies, you name it, I use it.

I do not use such things. Variance is variance and can not be influenced. I just try to play my best game.

Poker remains an intellectual game, where the best mascot will always be the level of your training.

my talisman) Chinese frog with coins, I will pour water on it and sit down for poker

I don't get too caught up in superstitions to believe I'm lucky or not.
But even though I'm not a fanatic, I always use an object and try to repeat the clothes of victorious days. kkk
Of course, this is all in live games.
In online games I don't use any kind of talisman.

I think this is complete nonsense)) No offense

Good luck with your talisman.
Please explain why you want your opponents to play responsibly? If they play responsibly, are they not playing smart poker and forcing you to rely on your lucky talisman.
I am ALWAYS hoping that my opponents do stupid things:
- fold when they should call
- call when they should fold
- raise when I have the nuts
- fold when I am bluffing on the river
- unplug their computer or discharge their cell phone and get disconnected when I am all in
