Superstitious "all-in" rituals.........

[bluefeet]

[I know, better suited for the Psychology forum, but I'm thinking all you push happy PP sng guys have to have some]

Rub a rabbit's foot?
Kick the dog first? [<- I have an idea who this is]
Recite praise to the poker gods?

Me....I watch nervously if I'm behind. I CAN'T LOOK, if I'm ahead (literally turn my head).

Funny, after a couple years and countless games, how exciting that moment can still be.

Fess up........you got one?

When I make a push that might get called (assume I want to be folded to) I roll my chair back four feet from my desk and kind of point with both hands pointed at the monitor, though one is kind of arched back like I'm shooting a bow and arrow, and yell something goofy. It usually works.

When I win a big pot in NL cash I start singing "I like to move it move it, I like to move it move it"

I pick up my pillow and wrap it around my head so I can't see or hear anything. Then I anxiously peek every 10 seconds or so to see if they called. If the hand isn't concluded yet, my face goes back in my pillow.

I do this as well, except for me it is more of a 'Out of all the times they could've called they will pick now and bust me' type of saying.

Every time I'm dominated I say "Crap, I lost..." then proceed to get ready to open up a new table

Every time I'm in a race, I say "Crap, I lost..." then proceed to get ready to open up a new table

Every time I'm dominating I wait for them to hit their hand, then say "Crap, I lost..." then proceed to get ready to open up a new table

Fortunately I don't have a dog, or I'd get arrested by the ASPCA
