    Math, Superstition and the AP

    Anything that doesn’t have to do with math in our AP play is what makes us different. Why do we choose different VP machines or BJ tables when all things seem to be equal? Do you ever get “feelings” for a table or machine? Do you need to prepare the same way for a session? Have you ever passed up a table or VP machine because of a negative feeling?
    Is the thrill of competition part of your game?
    I know there are some great math guys here, but I also know superstitions range from preparation to how we approach the games we play. I am not talking about betting decisions, just everything that surrounds it. Be interesting to hear.

    All things equal I tend to choose a table or VP machine where no one is smoking. The poker rooms I go to are all non smoking so the seat I choose, if there is a choice, is where I can see the whole table at a glance. I think superstitions are silly, but I try to act superstitious when I play as part of my act.

    A machine is a machine, a table is a table,cards are just cards, but a chair is never just a chair.

    Babe,

    Put me down as not "superstitious", just "Ritualistic". Also,, I will not have sex before playing, for instance in the hotal room then come down and play, I reserve that for after table play activity. I fear sex can take away some Predatory edge,, aggression and sharpness, while playing heightens my sexual desires, and therefore sex after BJ play has been some of the wildest.

    And I thought that having sex was considered getting lucky ....

    I have made a point of using the same urinal before tournament rounds at a certain event.
