Hey guys! 👋

We all know poker is a game of math, discipline, and strategy… but sometimes emotions (and a little bit of superstition) sneak in. 😅

Some players wear the same hoodie every session, others never change their lucky card protector, and some even believe sitting in a certain seat brings them good fortune. 🍀🧢

Personally, I’ve noticed that when I drink coffee before playing, I run hotter than usual ☕🔥 (maybe it’s just focus, maybe it’s magic 🤷‍♂️).

So I’m curious:
Do you guys have any poker superstitions or rituals before/while playing?

Lucky charm? 🍀

A song you always listen to before a session? 🎶

Or maybe you just laugh at these things and trust pure math & GTO? 📊


Let’s share! Could be fun to see how many “rituals” CardChat family has 😁🃏

I don't really believe in poker superstitions, but I know a lot of players have their lucky charms or routines. For me, poker is more about focus and decision-making than luck, but I think superstitions can sometimes give players extra confidence.

No, I am not superstitious and therefore don´t have a lucky charm or routines. The most important thing for me is being sharp and not tired before playing.

I don't believe it, poker is a mathematical game of probabilities so it only depends on that and nothing else.

I have a proven superstition! If I drink more than 0.7 liters of whiskey, I will definitely lose!!! )))

Im not superstitious, but sometimes I felt more luckier than other days, like I can loose 5 times with pocket A, K. And other days I won ten coin flips in a row
