Are you supertitious playing poker?

[vov4ik]

I do not play as a super player, but I learned how to play and now I sometimes win tournaments and I also try to win cash games, I have an amulet in the form of a poker chip and I hope that it helps me too!

Generally, I do not believe in superstitions, but if I put a cross on my neck, I feel that I play smarter, I feel the power . It seems to me that bad thinking attracts bad beats, for example I think "now I will get a badbeat for sure" and I get it.

I think there may be some people in denial here with all the "no, I'm not superstitious" answers. Poker players are some of the most superstitious people alive.

I'm not superstitious but once I go throw a downswing I will start thinking its meant to be or I know I'm going to lose the hand Lol maybe that is more paranoia than anything. I don't think what I eat for breakfast or the way I put on my socks will have anything to do with how good or bad I will run that day in poker! I can assure you though there are many people who think it will and they can get pretty crazy with it!

I usually have a statue of a warrior of Ancient Rome always on my desk.
In general, it all depends on me, which approach is how I'm set up for the game.
just solve all the factors, so as not to be distracted and sit down to work with poker calmly.
superstition. I have one thing: if I do not study every day, it will not bring me success and victory in the future.

my superstition and having to play with my amulet that is a cordon of St. George, without him I get lost in the game.

Saint George is a beautiful amulet.
This is a great winner.
Let him always protect you and help you.

I believe that I play not well and I can play better. I try to improve my game every day, but obviously I need to continue to study.

poker can not be immediately learned.
poker requires constant learning all the time, as the child grows constantly, and you need to constantly monitor it and keep up with it[emoji23] [emoji106] GL

I think im better if I have a bankroll, but not really superstious

Not at all. I want and TRY TRY to believe in maths, odds and that the game isn't against me.
If i have any beliefs that aren't related to facts, its that whole bad beats happen at a higher rate online than live. Or a better explanation would be rng coding just doesn't simulate like a casino, either too rng vs a casino dealer's shuffle, or not enough.
*disclaimer... i don't believe, or know for sure that online sites aren't rigged to make you lose, so I am not arguing that. That is just the closest i get to superstition, is getting mad at potential conspiracies.

But i don't have any lone fear of playing a suit or hand or position.

If i have something near a superstition it is more based off odds and my opinion of opponents, like not play the first hand of a tournament(which even then I do sometimes so not a rule) but that stuff depends on like if 4 people are all in, or a guy is moving all in the first 5 hands, ill wait the donks out. So not based off superstition, just based on experience of not knowing how many idiots are going to go all in in the beginning, and just staying away because anything can come out.
Maybe that is a little superstitious since i may fold AA, and math wise i should believe it will win at least more times than not, but I just don't want any chance at losing to rng and that sky rockets with 4 people playing, especially if they don't care what they are holding.
^*also depends on the tournament, probably not doing this in $10 On Demand freeroll.
But an expensive buy in, I don't want an rng % chance to win that i can't control.
