No, I'm not superstitious, but I think that for that would be nice to play a tournament you have to be tuned to victory :) :cool:

Other than making sure I'm a favorite in the games I'm playing, I don't follow any superstitions. If you can't spot the sucker at your table, it's probably you!

GL at the tables! :cool:

I am I have bad cards I get that I feel I must play and depending on position and current pot have a hard time folding. I usually get cured of this affliction by losing all my chips :)

Superstitions are for those who cant create their own luck.

So no. I believe if I cant play on the spot without going through a ritual or have to wear my fav coloured undies, then I will never be good enough.

The only superstition I believe has any relevance at all is this one:

Otherwise I put no stock in any type of superstition whatsoever.

well kinda yes but more in a statistical way. like if i have 33s at a late stage of a tournament and if i have less than 10 bbs, when i go all in with those kind of low pairs i always think i'll be beat up against two bigger cards. of course it's a coin flip but i always have the fear that those cards'll turn around. in other words, i'm pessimistic on those situations

"People think a rabbit’s foot is lucky. It wasn’t lucky for the rabbit" Doyle Brunson. Superstition is a weakness, but the magic numbers 777, 555 quite common.

Funny you do this topic because I would do it myself. Lol In the beginning, when playing 2 or 3 tables it happened to come in the same hands of 2 tables equal cards in each one. And I kept thinking: Does pokerstars want to tell me anything? Hahaha But this in the beginning, I know that today has nothing to do. But what happens to me a lot, I know, to have a feeling about some card before playing, especially with cards down. Sometimes I bet and it gives super right hahaha. I know it, inexplicable things.

And to talk about it, a situation happened yesterday. He was playing late at night, and very sleepy. When I apparently saw in the opponent's hand an 8 Q. And it was actually 88. Next hand comes 8 and Q for me to play. Then I was kind of superstitious. The flop comes 88Q. Is this a coincidence or not?

I do not understand about what superstition might say in the game where an important place is given to mathematics :confused: , but for example one my friend plays any hand with a Queen of spades because he thinks that she brings him luck :rolleyes:

I'm not superstitious.
I do not like to think that luck rules my steps and decisions.
At the tables I like to analyze the circumstances and take my risk of my own volition.

I'm not superstitious more than yes. But when prolonged variance, when not rushing, when I want to throw everything to the devil - then I start to be superstitious, then it seems that some realties "sign" tells what to do - then superstition tightens;)

No. There's a rational explanation. All built on formulas. The main thing to understand them.
