Personally, if I'm on a streak of bad hole cards, I don't like to sit out and risk being away when the good cards hit to break the bad streak.

I am not superstitious but I prefer not to pass under stairs

I do not believe in anything that is not natural. Therefore, superstition does not exist for me. Everything in the world is explainable from the point of view of science.

I don't believe superstitions on a deep/serious level, but they can be fun things to think about sometimes. Here are a couple:

** The little penguin that sits on my desk brings good luck.

** If I get AA or KK in the big blind, everyone will fold to me even if the big blind has never gotten a walk in the past 6 hours

Hi, how are you? The truth is that I am not superstitious, but there are bad days in poker there are. And as you say take a break and come back, because when you come back the players will follow but if you play when you are on a bad streak you can lose your Bank rool and that cannot be when you come back

I didn't have to think about superstition. I guess I don't believe in them.

Absolutely I am superstitious! I traveled as a Territory Manager my entire career and refused to stay on the 13th floor or a room with the 13 in the room number! I never let a black cat cross my path . . . etc. But I have never had superstitions in poker, however, after reading this thread I may develop some . . .

No, I do not have superstitions, because everything is changing and so my game is evolving. Poker has to do with maths, so superstitions don't have any point.

i have this "lucky charm" that i bring out in games, whenever i do, i lose.

No ... the truth is, I'm not superstitious .... but I'm very curious, and I like to read a lot about all kinds of superstitions ... it's a very interesting topic ...!

Superstition lies in the fact that everyone has certain numbers by which you can win and by which you will only lose, no matter how hard you try, and there are also amulets that bring good luck, everyone needs to know this, their numbers and your amulet good luck.

No. Never have been.

I wouldn't say that with myself, but I know the feeling of coming back and seeing your AAs, which are unfortunately gone because you were on sit out, but otherwise I would say less

I don't believe in that

My superstition is that you need to play poker only with a fresh head, sober and so that no one interferes, extraneous sounds, people distract me from the correctness of my actions.

Hi!If I have a fight with someone, then there is no game for me on this day.I will not sit down to play because many years of experience have led me to this conclusion-and it is a kind of superstition-do not sit down to play if you are angry.

be superstitious is the worst thing in poker

I have no superstitions. The only thing that matters to me is to always be patient enough. Sometimes it's very difficult, but I still try to be patient and disciplined.

Yes, I have a superstition. If I light a third cigarette in the announced breaks after the first cigarette, then the game does not go well. Because the brain is busy looking for a second cigarette, not poker.

I have no superstitions, I do not believe in such signs. The main thing for me is that no one distracts me during the game.

It's a game... There is no superstition behind it.
It is all in your mind and sometimes will help and others will destroy you

whenever i make myself a coffee on breaks, i am starting to lose on tournaments. so that may be my superstitition but i can't stop making a coffee during breaks <:P

yes, i think cat avatar will bring me good luck

I feel like I can legit know if I am going to make a run or not. It kind of goes hand in hand with being Full Tilt. Being Full Tilt is superstitious in itself, but getting rivered 4 times in a row makes you want to throw in the towel.

If I would say one think I am superstitious of is typically if I get dealt pocket J's (yes J's in my hand of knowing how my days going to go!) and I raise 5x the BB and 4 people call. Then the flop comes A K Q, that makes me feel like things aren't swinging my way for the day.

Maybe I start playing worse and go Full Tilt, but I don't think I ever have a good day at the tables when my J's get a flop like that.

Yes. I believe in Christ.

I do not believe in superstitions and various signs. In my opinion, such things do not deserve attention. I'm just trying to play right and achieve my goals.

The game needs a distance, if you did everything right, but lost, you will win next time.

I once had a lucky hat I always wore at friends home game, and I always won every week. Eventually friends got tired of this and destroyed the hat.
I still won every week, so maybe it wasnt the hat

No I dont just feel it out I know math skills of the game but lot of the time its instinct got to feel it out especially when you been playing for a while got to know how to play your cards and feel out what the next person got you get that feeling

There is no relationship between superstition and poker, poker relies on body language and math Science does not believe in superstition

A veces pienso que si no gano con las buenas manos debería ganar con las malas y salgo a buscar fichas, no sé si será una superstición mía.

My lady is unlucky. Every time she asks me how the poker is going, I take a bad beat within 10 minutes. It's like clockwork.

I dont have superstition.

you always need to listen to your intuition ...

I have a different opinion. People tend to want to explain everything. There are many people who always know exactly how to do it (especially in retrospect) and then often say: "I told you that before!" There are still phenomena and tasks in medicine, mathematics, nature and human behavior that have not yet been fully and sufficiently clarified. And let's be honest: Would you want to live in a world in which all secrets are revealed and all problems are solved?

I have no superstitions, to my knowledge anyway.

I don't even believe in luck. I believe in randomness, yes of course... that's all I think "luck" is, randomness. I've yet to meet anyone who is lucky all the time, or unlucky all the time. It's just the random nature of the universe, with a healthy dose of "human" atop it... and we humans LOVE to assign concepts to random things. Oh I had the same random event happen to me 3 times in the last 3 days, that's good (or bad) luck! No, it's just random variance from the norm, from the mean.

Anyway, if you DO happen to believe in superstitions like "luck", then... good luck to you, my friends. :-)

Edit to add: My favorite superstition is those Superstition Mountains just east of Phoenix, the (supposed) location of that legendary Lost Dutchman's Mine. So perhaps I DO believe in at least one superstition anyway. :-)

I have some superstitions.

There is no particular superstition, only I register less than 5 minutes before the start of the tournament.

I'm not superstitious, but they say that the first hand cannot be won!

Haha, can relate to that. I was trying to find my lucky avatar but none of them worked out)

I play in two places in my house, when a bad streak comes I take the computer to another place and vice versa.

I do not believe in superstition, but sometimes there is a black streak when you lose all the time

Personally i don t have any superstitions when i play poker.

I have no superstitions. But sometimes in the game I remember some superstitions about which I know: to take cards with a certain hand, not to change the hairstyle during the game, to have some kind of talisman, etc. And I chuckle to myself when I win the opposite way.

I think who is waiting and who is waiting, and to the tournament organizer

Hello
I have no superstitions as such, but I believe in some signs, for example, when I dream of fishing with a good catch, it means the day will be excellent in all respects, and so it happens, funny right?

dont have superstitons

When playing live, I always look at the 2nd card I'm dealt first. Not sure if this fully qualifies as a superstition, it's just how I like to do it.

I did have a crazy superstition that I would never play the first hand, because I did not want to be first out, but that disappeared a long time ago. Some time's I will not look at my hand if I am on the BB and I prefer to check blind so that when the flop comes I am not looking to make a hand, and I can watch the reaction of the other players when it hits the table.
This gives me more information and I can check blind waiting for someone to make a bet before I am forced to look, this gives me more options, in the fact that if I hit big I am letting them make a noose for themselves, and if I miss completely I can try and float the hand and try a bluff on the river.
I will only try this against one opponent, because if you are doing this with more than one opponent the odds of making the bluff work is reduced. My philosophy is "If I have missed the flop, maybe they have as well" and most of the time I am right.
This of course is only in live games, on-line it is totally impossible to do, as the cards are always face up. But it is fun to do in a live situation, especially with the first hand.

When the fun, Stops, STOP!

there are no superstitions, they will not help, the main thing is knowledge and experience
