Anyone else have them at all?
I find that when i am in an important pot all in pre and it turns out to be a flip (so not too often across the night), I am sort of shuffling my feet a little and occasionally when i have ak versus qq and its the turn and i still haven't got there i might start shouting things like BINK and swaying my head back and forth in anticipation as if i am about to head a goal in. One of the above normally happens at least once a night. Or actually another one is i go completely still, thinking much movement might affect my chances, think its accompanied by holding my breath as well.
Am i the only one? Am i special? Do you guys have anything peculiar along these lines?

All my online names are 'binkmepls'.... The word bink is sacred. But nothing 'serious' on the superstition front. Random fact of the day - I saw on a tv show once that superstitions wise "there is a form of 'knock on wood' superstition in almost EVERY single culture.." It's the widest reaching across cultures and people and places. |

The key is to not think about the cards they need to hit. If u visualise them cards whilst the cards are being flipped then ur gg'd for sure

There is no better feeling than rocking up in a city for the first time, with nowhere to stay and everything new - so liberating.

I always have to have my chips the right easy up and never mixed up.
Makes my shit itch playing 3 or 4 handed and winning big pots and the dealer shoves my neat stacked towers back to me and the chips go all over the place.

Similar to this, when I'm all in pre-flop, flop or turn, I look away from the screen and don't look back until the river has been dealt. |

I seriously recommend you read The Mental Game of Poker if you have such superstitions. Having said whenever I insta-snap call an all-in I always lose, so I usually take a second before calling  |
