Poker Room Radio

It is amazing I feel to see rooms full of thousands of people playing in a major event, and to discover that a large proportion of them have some sort of lucky shirt, charm, card weight, or other trinket, in the hope it will help them succeed. Considering many of these players are fully aware that what they are playing is largely mathematical in terms of which cards come out, it seems strange that they might think a lucky charm would help them.

Strangely enough I must admit I have had similar urges to take somthing along to a game which I consider to have brought me luck in the past. The reason for this isn’t because I have a clear opinion that this object will help me, I think it is more a psychological aid. If you have somthing with you that makes you feel luckier, you tend to play with more confidence, and although that seems silly, psychology is important in poker. Your own, as much as anyone elses around the table.

How many people would agree that when they are getting a good run of cards they begin to play better, and with more confidence? Many, I would say (myself included).

So anything which helps you begin a tournament with a little extra confidence is worth having with you in my opinion. besides which, we do not know what causes luck to ebb and flow and why it’s tides turn when they do, so if there is even a remote chance of a lucky charm having some effect, what have you got to lose by taking it along with you?
