Do you have any poker superstitions?
Like winning the first hand or always playing a certain hand..?

 

[MattRyder]

No. Each hand and each game and each day are different. One day I lose w/ AA against JJ. The next day I win w/ JJ against AA.

I put my left sock on before my right sock every time before I play, it doesn't help me much because I am shit at maths.

When there is knowledge, effort and study of the game, there are no superstitions. There is exercise, and games and continuous progress!:ciao:

 

[neptun1914]

Generally no. The only thing i sometimes but not always follow is to take a break of a hand or two after taking big pot.

 

[0546474]

No, I'm not a superstitious person in my life !!!

No, I'm not a superstitious person in my life

Hi.
I have no superstitions. I am just trying to be patient, play right and enjoy the game. I believe that only patience and discipline will help me succeed in the future.
Good luck.

 

[thuliomano]

no, only at the time of an all-in that I keep repeating in my head "hold cards" without stopping

 

[pljosko]

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.

No superstitions, I try to play my best, watch videos of the best players, and be aware of the variance in poker.

I don't have any superstitions. Maybe, I have my favorite combinations, which are not usual, but I used to play it. That's all.

 

[IM_FM]

Thanks for all your replies.

I used to play QT regardless of what position I was in. That has changed.
Also, maybe it's not a superstition but a habit - 99/100 times, I fold the first hand of a tournament (I folded KK once because 5 out of the 8 players at the table went all-in. I would have lost that hand).

 

[costy1300]

yes, I don't know why but when I play with Russians or Brazilians at the table I feel like I'm losing

I understood that they have some programs and they clean you up quickly

 

[infonazar]

I do not believe in superstitions and I do not have any special rituals. I think it is most important when playing poker, be patient, focused and disciplined.

 

[DonDigiDon]

the most important thing is not to play tired

 

[futureballoon]

Yeah, after being dealt multiple good starting hands in a relatively short time span that I end up winning... i feel like I'm going to be dealt a good starting hand that has a bad beat relatively soon, as such I start to play more conservatively. I've noticed its happened relatively often when I take it for granted these good starting cards.

 

[TudorPithon]

Not really, i m just tryng to play sober

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Not really superstitious at all about anything. I'll go with perhaps karma (don't believe in Hinduism and Buddhism), always play in a positive mood and don't drink. That would better serve me than a 4 leaf clover or a special card holder.

 

[akgross]

When we play the AK limp in A4, the river will certainly lie 4. Maybe it's prejudice, only very often “A” with a weak kicker plays “A” with a strong one.))

 

[ramignis]

many poker players have their favorite hands. have someone one have someone the other. I don't have it though I don't see anything wrong with it. the main thing is not to overplay them on the postflop.

 

[Misaki]

ye. Everytime when I have a deepstack in a tournament I have a feeling that it's matter of time when I will get a big bad beat.

 

[manzanillo53]

My only superstition is the that PS is out to get me and will not let me win. They force me to make bad decisions all the time. Yep that's my story and sticking with it.

 

[PrAy4RiVeR]

I sit in and out sometimes because once I did this in the past and I won.

 

[fishfood80]

Not technically strictly poker but I don't like even having a 50 on me in the casino. I don't know where it comes from but a fifty equals bad luck for me. I also have a thing against old hundreds. When I cash out if the cage gives me any old hundreds I ask to trade em for blue backs.
