Like winning the first hand or always playing a certain hand..?


I have no superstitions. But it is very important for me that no one distract me while playing.

I Think that Superstition is the lack of confidence in one's own abilities and the glorification of meaningless nonsense.
Your luck is not contingent on things like whether you first touched the floor with your left foot when you woke up, or whether a black cat ran across the road in front of you. You cannot influence luck by any rituals, luck comes by accident.

yes

Yes, I do not like to pay all in with players who have more chips than I, I almost always go all in with AA because it bothers me to lose chips with players who pay flop with any card, if I am about to enter the prize I do not play more for more I want AA, KK, QQ because I have lost many prizes for playing with those cards, those are some of the plays that I usually make

And do accidents come because you walked under a ladder? Or a black cat crossed your path? Or you stepped on a crack? Etc Etc. Just kidding. You are absolutely correct in your use of the term "glorification of meaningless nonsense."

I sometimes think of the superstitions that were part of my childhood, but they play no part in my life, especially in my poker game.

Lucky charms

Yes I do. When I play live cash games. With real people in front of me. I have five Lucky charms. Cluster of amethyst crystal about the size of a 50-cent piece. A 45 caliber bullet. A little antique race car. A silver cross. And mikagami cross. And as always I have to wear my lucky skull necklace I made. If I do all those things then I'll win every time. Good luck everyone on the tables and as always have fun.

I don't know if some of these are sarcastic or real but it's cool to see many different types of "habits".

Not sure if it's a superstition or a player tendencies read but whenever I 3bet the first hand in the tournament and the opponent shoves his whole stack I'm certain that they always have Aces or Kings.

I'm not superstition ,because I have some confidence in my game and if a good card doesn't come in, I'm bluffing hard.

When I started to play poker I had weird fixation to 5,4 hand 😀 but then I studied poker and this weird and hazardous superstition went away. It's not a good idea to be superstitious when playing with money :D

No doubt and superstition, only analysis of the game and a cold mind)))))

I wouldn't call it superstition but I believe in vibration and energy, and emotions are the two things. When I am super excited, super confident and in harmony with myself and the environment I get a lot more games like broadways and premium cards and my game hits a lot more on the flop. When I play discouraged, I don't get anything good and even if I go all-in with AA vs 22 I will still lose. It's weird but that's how it works for me.
