Poker Superstitions & Lucky Charms: Do you have any?

[dompoker]

I like to drink beer and smoke that brings me luck.

 

[Acechador]

I have no superstitions, as long as there are Ukrainians or Russians at my table, everything will be fine... hahaha

Not really a superstition or lucky charm, but my little wolf Filotima is usually guarding my chips for me. She was inside a Kinder Egg that was given to me, and all the other players got an egg too, by one nice woman at a Ladies tournament in January 2021. Her name is the feminine of the casino's name, and she is a fantastic conversation starter.

I have absolutely zero superstitions, either in or out of the poker world and that goes for whatever is dealt to me. I don't have a favourite pair of hole cards either, I've won with them all and I've lost with them all.

I don’t have any talismans, but it wouldn’t hurt against the river))

Before tournaments, I don’t have any superstitions or talismans.

Are sure that it's "as long as there are", not "as long as there are not"? 😅😅

To be honest I really don't have any superstitions I follow when playing poker. I do have 2 things I do fairly religiously before playing poker.

I tend to meditate prior to playing my session. I do this to relax and get into the right state of mind. The 2nd is more of a live think. I like to have a chocolate milk as I start playing or just before. I drink this throughout the tournament as well. Why? I t keeps me from getting hungry at the table and its good for me.

wow my awnser is different lol
might be cuz I'm crazy but idk

I get angry
angrier the better

I wanna knock someone out like fight night
Splash the rail
Everything else dissolves to nothing besides my targets
Focusing my will and mind to execute the greatest possible damage to my target
Remembering/recalling the suffering and indifference the world+poker has done to me and taken.
Then I Focus really well
I channel that to everyone at the table
Poker has hurt me personally and I can't win back what I've lost

then at that point
the only thing that matters in the universe
is crushing my opponents into the ground
using every fiber of my brain
pumping adrenaline that is focused on winning
anger that refuses to lose


If the adrenaline makes me shaky
I may take a single shot of liquor

If I'm not angry enough, I put on Tupac Can't see me

I also study angry
How hard I study will be the deciding factor of my revenge in action

AQ is cursed, and not just when I have. Other people beat me with it all the time.

I play poker only when I feel good, when I'm in a good mood. I've seen many times that it's not worth starting the game when you're tired or in a bad mood, because it usually leads to losses. So, in my case, there must be two conditions for playing, good health and good mood.

 

[olejean]

No, I'm not following any superstitions. The main faith of my good game is a correct psychological adjustment on the game.

 

[yuriko oyama]

I don't think I should be in this topic, because I'm too fatalistic to have superstitions related to poker.
I think the only thing that I do that resembles superstition, when I make an extremely bad play, is to walk away as much as I can so as not to explode.
I don't even know if that really counts.

 

[Gdefender]

I've never had any superstitions or talismans...maybe they bring luck to the wearers of these items because they believe in them, but I'm not superstitious at all.

 

[Newzooozooo]

Hi
I have no superstitions, I don't believe in such things. Talismans, amulets, lucky socks and so on are not for me either. I just try to play the game the right way and enjoy the game. I think things like amulets, talismans, superstitions or omens will always be of secondary importance compared to factors like our patience and discipline.
Good luck

In poker i dont have any funny ideas , I just hope the river doesnt burn me when I am ahead ! But when I play the slot machines in a casino I will touch the screen in certain ways to try and bring luck ! As you can imagine it seldom works .

 

[Rachidao]

I don't have any, just had lucky charms when I was a kid.

 

[19aleks57]

I read your post and decided to put fifty-year-old coins in the table where I play poker, maybe Fortuna will turn to face me, maybe - ha-ha.

 

[RhinoRyan89]

Only superstition i have when playing poker online is if you can set your seating position in function for tournaments and cash tables i always do so.

 

[lyki67]

No I don't have any. I simply seat and play, and have fun.

 

[ScooperNova]

I used to like to wear my shirt that is "dogs playing poker" but it's Snoopy and his cousins. I've carried lucky coins and such before. I don't put much faith in such things and I haven't even considered bringing something lucky to a game in a long time.

 

[neptunas888]

I had a gold ring that my parents gave me for my 18th birthday. I felt more confident playing offline with it. But unfortunately I lost it that year.

 

[rsparente]

No, not for me. But I use to do pranks on intervals sometimes. Mainly if I'm in cutting mezo.

 

[BillyR23]

I'd like to say that I don't believe in superstitions and/or for sure there's none and it's just in our head, so we need to put more effort into improving our mental (poker) game, also we should just study the game to improve our poker skills and not focus on things like this... but I like to avoid playing after encounters with black cats(or other 'popular' superstitions), or sometimes I tend to find this kind of 'weird' excuses for variance and/or my bad play/-s... In rest, I don't have any kind of lucky objects and I don't do any kind of rituals before my sessions- I strongly believe that study, patience and discipline are the key to long term success...

 

[CheezeWiz]

I guess you could call this a superstition... when I am playing online and attempt to bluff someone out of a pot and they are thinking, burning clock, I find myself talking to them through the computer... saying "No Shame In Folding! No Shame In Folding!". I don't know it seems to work fairly well, but perhaps I just have a selective memory. LOL

 

[scobido]

Yes, I have a mascot that characterizes me as a character, namely a plastic puppy, which I think brings me luck most of the time. I don't have any strange superstitions.
