Do you have any good luck tokens with you when you play. Do you believe that some days or times are more favourable for you. Do you believe that if certain high cards were in the last community cards, that they will not show in the next flop.
Man, how I'd love to have you at my table.

It is silly being superstitious, the poker gods are gonna have their way with you & there is nothing you can do about it.

I'm not superstitious, but I believe and know that there are times when the card comes and when it doesn't..especially poker stars ..last week I pulled up three tournaments in a row (MTT), reached the final. After that, I fly out in the stupidest moments, no matter what I do.

There are people who have lucky objects, but I do not believe that much. But I believe in days that you should not play, not because it's a bad day but im not being willing, with head, tired and etc ...

I think the poker player or more so , gamblers in general are some of the most superstitious humans out there I haven't seen some yet that don't have some sort of lucky talisman of some weird superstition yet.

In general, I am not superstitious, cause it would literally mean that whatever we learn and achieve in life is not our accomplishment, but has something to do with forces above (whatever these may be). When I play, I tend to be focused, relaxed, listen to some quality music and I leave it up to the game!

Superstitions have no place in poker.

I do not think that an object or certain things make us win. I take them more as distinctive objects of some players.

Hello, I do not think there 's anything that, or good luck charms or superstitions in poker there are slumps, and variance.
The only way to avoid losing a lot of money, is when to stop playing're going through a rough patch, or demote, which usually playing.

Oh yes, I am superstitious. I have several times to follow my intuition with trash cards and the plupard of the temp is working. For example on the last two frerrolls that I played twice I lost with the same hand KQ. so for my next tournaments I would be much more careful and vigilant with this hand.

although I always play with my talisman (cordão con São Jorge), I think fortune is 90% of an online poker game, in live poker, you can show more your ability to play until predicting what your advesario will do

I have an amulet in the form of playing chips, but I cannot say whether it helps me or not, or I myself win in the game with my skills, but in every game he is present with me near the computer!

I am not superstitious and have no amulets. It is unlikely that the amulet will help to avoid the bad beats...

I believe that in order for a day to be good for playing poker, I need to feel good, and not be distracted by other thoughts and deeds. Eat before the game and do not want to sleep.

Only when I play Live, I wear a pokerstars watch. It's mostly to brag to other people that I have it. But I'm very scientifically and mathematically orientated, and don't believe in anything but probability.

I could be proven wrong. We can test this theory quite easily. If your lucky object is a rock, for example, play 2 million hands with it, and look at the frequencies of being dealt, let's say QQ+. Then play 2 million hands without it, and look at the frequencies. They should be extremely close, adjusting for mathematical variance.

Maybe God chooses Lottery winners. Maybe God made you hit your flush in that tournament. Who knows? But in my opinion, God doesn't interfere with turns and rivers :D:D:D:D:D:D

I’ve noticed whenever I think negative, I get negative results. Problem is I have always “seen” cards coming for years. Hard to shake something you think keeps happening. I’ve noticed when I’ve just felt positive (rare) I’ve had great success. Maybe I should try that more???

I'm not superstitious at all. But it is true that there are some days that go better than others, so I try to remember what I have done differently that day, and if I did something in particular before starting to play, I try to do it again the next day.

There are days that I am lucky and there are days that I do not win a river.
