It happens sometimes, mainly in the later stages of tournaments.

and the heart stops and the soul goes into the heels when you do not know which card will come during the bet.

I don't cross my fingers, but I do at times hold my breath, lol. Honestly, I have such bad anxiety just in every day life, I am actually surprised I even play poker.

I don’t cross my fingers, but sometimes I hold my breath, and my heart starts pounding. The adrenaline rush pounds and it becomes scary.

In general, I have no such symptoms. But sometimes, in particularly risky situations, I can just get up from my chair.

No, never think much about it. I have some idea what my odds are and just hope for the best, although there is one site that I am always 90% chance of being beat no matter how good my hand is.

I don't cross my fingers. I just look at the villain and recite a mantra in my head:
pay and lose
pay and lose
pay and lose
pay and lose
Pay and Lose....

It's funny fellows but there are times when I cross my fingers when I take a risk against very closed hands, but when I have it very clear because I know that I will win, to whom this happens to the head hahaha.
I believe that we all do... but a good part, mentally. lol

cruzar los dedos

Hello, if I have crossed my fingers many times, especially in plays when I have AA or KK in hand and some player goes there, I call and I see 33 or 66 in his hand. I just lost AA to 33

I never cross my fingers before the all-in, that's from failures, what I do is pray to God:D:icon_sant

Luck

I don't count on luck to make my plays, but I always call on her when the flop comes bad

No. Superstitious people who actually cross their fingers and believe in that type of luck are probably the same LAGs who chase draws :D

What I might do is say the expression, "fingers crossed" and smile, but it isn't something I physically do.

No, I don't. I don't have any ritual associated with this.

The loose version.

If there is a limited time factor, odds are I can't stick around to finish tournament, I give it the LAG, just to be different, spice things up. To be clear, only on a low tier free-roll, but it is fun, to be foot-loose and all-in, without worrying about it.
Thats the game I played in a MTT I usually use TAG. Lost with hundred of places until the money. Don't feel bad, the opposite actually.
If you normally play the TAG grind game, let it loose every once in a while, just to clear out the cobwebs, and lose with a shrug and a grin.
