Message: [QUOTE="ph_il, post: 307611, member: 508"] ive always had this superstition about the very first hand when i sit at a new table. No matter what it is, i like to play it as long as its pretty cheap. (limp in or a very small raise). why? because before i would always muck the first hand and i would always hit something strong on the flop. i've flopped nut straights, i flopped nut straights with straight flush possibility, top 2 pair, trips, etc quite a number of times on the first hand (that i folded) and it always seems, thats when the table is very active. a huge pot would be created and a guy takes it down with top pair and i had a straight. So, i started believing in just luck when i started playing my first hand (cheap) and i would hit strong and take a decent size pot. it doesnt hit all the time, but when it does its good for me. and i get nothing, its an easy fold.
