    if 3 or more players in the pot post flop, facing a bet, call, call etc, and you have a flush draw, you will never hit, only unless someone else has a higher flush draw, then u will hit.

    You always get punished for trying to slowplay AA preflop or straights/ sets on the flop.

    We joke about it all the time, but it does seem to happen way more than it should, like you see KK get it in vs big stacks 55, smacks a five on the flop. moral of the story, if ur short stack and get a monster while the break window is on the screen, muck or load up another tourny

    my friend actually lives and dies by this rule, on the other hand, i feel its a great oppurtunity to double up, maybe i always have good stacks tho lol he will literally fold hands he would normally play because he "always gets knocked out the hand before break"

    Id also like to 2nd the running horrible after a withdrawal until you redeposit.

    Fulltilt doomswitched me in 3 tournaments within 5 minutes of the break before 4 oclock. 5 outered, 2 outered, and 4 outered. all allins. sigh.

    I have 3 that I know can't be real but I do them anyway, just in case.

    If someone shoves on you pre, you win more often when you don't snapcall, regardless of what you have. Even if you wait just a couple seconds it's more +EV. I swear I run worse when I snapcall lol. RNG timing ftw ldo.

    I also feel like I run infinitely better if when I get all in at any point, I just say "hold" when I'm ahead or call for each of my outs once when I'm behind, and calling for outs I pick up on the flop or turn. I do it every single time lol.

    I also believe my black Nike sweatpants and white/black Etnies zip hoodie are my lucky grind clothes, and when I take the hoodie off I run bad haha.

    I have one when I play mtts. When the clock is counting down after a break, I watch until the number 7 strikes then I look away. It has to be the lucky seven. Not sure why I keep doing this, since I haven't been winning anything. Today, is the day I change. Wait...maybe tomorrow. Oh yeah, one more small one. When I am all in, I have to pat my head, rub my stomach, and clap my feet together. If I win, I go wake up my wife and tell her.

    This always happens to me! I have 10 J and the other table will flop 10 10 J.

    6. If you get QQ someone is bound to have AA KK or AK and gg...
    5. Cashing out makes you lose more (cause the site is pissed at you for cashing out)
    4. Donating 5$ to a beggar on the rail makes you run better.
    3. If you think about the card they need to get there it always comes. If you think about the card you need to it never does.
    2. New players or players that haven't played in along time run better.
    AND THE NUMBER 1 superstition is:
    1. If you have the name MOORMON1 you win no matter what cards u play.

    Bet sizing (if you don't stay consistent with your sizing) will have a direct impact on the RNG... Also... fish tend to win flips a lot more often when they get in spots that they are LUCKY to be flipping

    yeah, also don't think about the card that your opponent needs to hit because it will always come, have to block negative thoughts at all times.

    1. If you bad mouth the site in the chat box about being rigged your name gets put on the shit list and the site proves you right by nailing you with every 2 outer imaginable.
    2. If you have a pp and draw a blank on the flop you can bet your ass that number will flop the very next hand.
    3.Using the avatar with the "mean emotion" on tilt wins more then the others.
