No, in my case, all these myths do not work and I am not inclined to believe in something that does not exist!

There's a guy at poker tables who has a picture of 8 in his avatar. I raised around 2.3bbs with AKo and he called with 83s.
Turn gave King and a third heart on the table. I had top pair and flush-kicker and he had already hit flush. I think I don't have to mention that I was out in the next moment.

Feels like I have runs where every hand I fold pre-flop seems to hit huge and would take down a big pot, if only I was still in.
But humans are great at spotting patterns, even if there are none there, and poker-playing humans are probably even more attuned to seeing those patterns. It doesn't mean they're relevant, reliable, or even real.
I want those superstitious people at my table - they're always lucky for me

I don't believe in myths. But certain things goes on in repeated manner without any logical reasoning. You may say it as the trend of the cards.
For example, I have AQ and flop shows K as the highest card. I never won that hand.

I think that most of these myths were just created to romanticize the game, to make it appear as if there's more going on than dry probability calculations and the lust for money. Therefore I don't believe in them.

I often hear players that have favourite cards, or lucky hands they always play and never fold them pre-flop. Personally I don't have any because pre-flop any 2 cards can win, likewise any 2 cards can lose.
I have on some occasions folded Pocket Aces knowing that if I lose I will forfeit the game, on other occasions I have called an all-in with 7/2 if it is not going to damage my stack too much, because I know from experience that some times even the worst starting hands can win!
Dolly Brunson hand of 10/2, became Legendary because he won two World Series Tournaments with those two cards, but what you have to take into account is that he was holding a massive Chip advantage on both occasions and would only double up his opponents dwindling stack which still would not prove too disastrous if he lost the hand.
I often get 10/2 dealt to me in games and think "Dolly Brunson hand" FOLD! Because I am not Doyle Brunson. but if it is only going to cost me a single blind I might just "Call" if I am feeling lucky.
When the fun Stops, STOP!
