But did you know that poker players \u2013 even some of the pros \u2013 are actually quite superstitious? From lucky chip stacking to preferring a certain position at the table, there\u2019s no shortage of rituals and good-fortune trinkets on the felt \u2013 even in online poker!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most players, whether they play Texas Hold\u2019em online or any other <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/casino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online casino games<\/a><\/strong>, like to feel as though they\u2019re able to control and influence random events by bringing a bit of extra luck with them to the table, in whichever way they think will work. Some bring a special lucky charm to place on or near their cards, while others have rituals and traditions they can\u2019t skip when they\u2019re preparing for a poker tournament. If they don\u2019t stick to these rituals, they believe the cards won\u2019t fall as they must for a good run.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of the more common \u2013 and some of the most bizarre \u2013 poker superstitions<strong> <\/strong>on record.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lucky card protectors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By far the most common gambling superstition or lucky charm in poker is the \u201clucky card protector.\u201d Online poker players might not have come across this superstition since there are no physical cards to protect, but take a seat at any poker table in a casino and you\u2019re likely to see some strange and wonderful little trinkets resting on (or \u201cprotecting\u201d) your opponents\u2019 cards.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a card protector isn\u2019t always a sign of superstition, though. Some players simply feel more confident when they have a little charm, which is usually good for their state of mind at the table, while other players tend to take their luck quite seriously and may even refuse to sit down at the table if they\u2019ve forgotten to bring their card protector.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Doyle \u201cTexas Dolly\u201d Brunson, a poker legend, author and two-time WSOP (World Series of Poker) champion, carries a card protector to every poker game he plays. Brunson\u2019s trinket of choice is a small rectangular stone with a Ghostbusters logo on it and \u201cDolly\u201d written underneath. He has even been known to rent it out to other players at $200 for 30 minutes when they felt they were running bad or their luck needed a bit of a boost. That may seem like a steep price, but considering the amount of \u201cluck\u201d it has brought Doyle in the form of poker tournament winnings, it\u2019s likely worth every penny. Of course, one may quite legitimately wonder just how \u201ctransferable\u201d luck can be.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lucky chip stacking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every player at an in-person poker table fiddles with or riffles their chips, one way or another. Whether they roll them in their fingers or constantly stack and restack them, the casino is constantly buzzing with the sound of chips being stacked. It\u2019s safe to say that poker players can\u2019t get enough of playing with their chip stacks and some of them even require chips to be ordered in a certain way if they are to be lucky.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some players have very specific rules for chip stacking, such as never stacking more than 10 or 20 in a single pile or even building stacks on top of others. Other players like to keep mixed stacks, which might work for them but can be problematic for the table, making counting their chips much more difficult than neatly ordered stacks. However you like to stack your odds, remember it\u2019s never socially acceptable to \u201csplash the pot\u201d by throwing in a load of chips together with everyone else\u2019s because the croupier will have real trouble counting what you\u2019ve added to the total!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Online poker players have it easy since the software stacks and displays your chips automatically. Still, it wouldn\u2019t surprise anyone if most players participating in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/poker.borgataonline.com\/en\/tournaments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online poker tournaments<\/a><\/strong> have a physical stack of lucky chips nearby to fiddle with while they play and which they believe will grant them the luck they need when a bluff goes bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wearing your luck<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg\" alt=\"Man in a blue hoodie at a casino table showing a pair of aces with a large stack of casino chips.\" class=\"wp-image-3768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie-300x185.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie-1024x630.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie-768x473.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg?w=130 130w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg?w=390 390w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg?w=520 520w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg?w=650 650w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg?w=909 909w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg?w=1170 1170w, https:\/\/roarcdn.fitting-solutions.at\/borgata\/casino\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/02103613\/poker-player-with-a-hoodie.jpg?w=450 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another massively popular superstition among poker players, including those who play online, is having lucky clothes. It could be a hat, a hoodie, sunglasses or a pair of lucky socks, but whatever it is, it will be worn to every game. As far as superstitions go, this one isn\u2019t the most bizarre and can likely be chalked up to players feeling confident in their favorite piece of clothing, although some players do take it to the extreme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pius Heinz, the 2011 WSOP Main event winner, wore the same (filthy) white hoodie for his entire seven-day run to the title. Even his fans and family who were watching from the rails wore white to show their support for his superstition, though his mother had to leave the venue either due to the stress of the game or because she could no longer stand the sight of her son in such a filthy hoodie! Hopefully, Heinz has put some of his $8.7 million poker tournament winnings towards buying a few spare hoodies for the next time he plays this casino game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lucky rituals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it comes to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/blog\/debunking-common-gambling-myths-and-superstitions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">weird superstitions<\/a><\/strong>, these poker rituals, traditions or behaviors that players exhibit can be a bit more far-fetched than simply wearing a lucky white hoodie for a week straight. Many poker professionals have their own little rituals and behaviors that they believe bring them the lucky edge they need, even when playing poker games online. Daniel \u201cKid Poker\u201d Negreanu, six-time WSOP bracelet winner and two-time WPT (World Poker Tour) champion, watches Rocky movies before sitting down to his games, even when he\u2019s playing <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/poker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">online poker<\/a><\/strong> tournaments. While Negreanu isn\u2019t quite the size of Rocky Balboa and is likely not as competent in a fight, opponents are still intimidated by him at the tables. But surely, the success of his career and his massive lifetime poker tournament winnings can\u2019t all be chalked up to his skill at the table, can it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test your luck at Borgata Online<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever you use to get a lucky edge on the sharks at the felt, bring it along to Borgata Online! <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.borgataonline.com\/en\/mobileportal\/register?rurl=https:%2F%2Fwww.borgataonline.com%2Fen%2Fgames\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register<\/a><\/strong> with us to gain access to some of the most exciting online poker games, such as Texas Hold\u2019em online as well as seats at our daily and weekly online poker tournaments.
