    I realized I have some really silly habits I have developed while playing online. Like I always sit in the same seat in cash games, and always delete the whole amount to bring to the table even though I just change one number. Does anyone else find themselves doing pointless things daily?

    I make a checking motion over�top�of my mouse before I check and I'll occasionally catch myself pushing imaginary cards away with my fingertips when I fold..

    When someone calls me with a 2 out draw i have started using a crossover move that is very effective.........instead of using my right hand i crossover and use my left hand to hit leave table thus avoiding the endless flow of puke that until now i had been getting all over my right arm while executing this very tricky manuever......

    Not a superstitious thing, but more of a habit. Whenever I want my opponents to check, I tap my desk as if I'm checking in a live game.

    I root hard for my opponent to hit his cards when in a showdown. Sort of a reverse psychology thing.

    Its definitely not a habit for me but I usually find it beneficial to not watch the cards come down when I'm all in with the best hand because it usually makes it easier to take when they draw out.
