I wouldn’t say I truly believe in superstitions, but I do have some habits. If I mentally celebrate a hand too early, the river almost always ruins it 😄 So I try to stay neutral until the end.
Online, my biggest “superstition” is mindset-related: if I’m tired or tilted, I don’t play. That matters way more than lucky charms.

Poker is a game rife with superstitions and beliefs. While many of them may seem strange and illogical, they do have their place in the world of poker. Ultimately, each player has their own methods and strategies that help them achieve success.A superstition is the belief in a lucky coin. Players often carry a coin or token they use to play poker. They believe this coin brings them good luck and helps them make good decisions.

What strange superstitions do you have when playing poker?
Superstitions are old-fashioned trends, you shouldn't pay attention to such things. You need to believe in yourself, in your knowledge, skills, and experience, and then you will have a much better chance of achieving something good :)

I’m not superstitious…however, I never play poker on Friday the 13th, I never sit in a seat under a ladder, I keep my eyes peeled for black cats crossing in front of me, I quit poker for 7 years after breaking a mirror and that salt shaker I carry to throw salt over my shoulder is just coincidence….I think you need to be over 65 years old to remember all the superstitions above.
