Title: Superstition and the poker player Post by: Kiall on August 04, 2008, 11:22:01 AM Hi All,
My name's Adam and for my sin's I work as a freelance writer mostly in gaming. In a flash of brilliance, i.e. racking my brains for new ideas to pay the bills, I came up with the idea of doing a feature on superstition in poker. Thus I'm interested in any superstitions you might have, lucky clothes, charms etc. In particular I'd be interested in stories of famous poker players you know who have superstitious beliefs, the more interesting the better. If you want to be quoted for the article please include your real name. Thanks for your help.

Not sure if it's superstition or not, but it does start to make me feel a bit uneasy.

It's only marginal hands, like if I'm in the small blind holding JT and on another table it's JJT or AKQ something like that.

Adam Hi Adam I read Barry Greenstein's book and found it very interesting that he thinks it's good to have sex before playing poker, so I make sure to take my blow up doll with me when I travel around playing tournaments. Sometimes I take it into the casino with me hidden in my man bag and blow it up quickly in the toilets just before the cards are dealt and again if I make it to the first break. I am happy for you to write about this in your magazine. My name is Kevin Shepherd.
