Are YOU superstitious? Poker Pro Phil Galfond likes to think he isn’t, but has a charming story of a dollar won in a poker home game to show that he’s maybe a little-stitious.

It seems only natural that poker and other games where random chance plays a factor would invite thoughts of luck and superstition.

As a poker player — do you have any ‘lucky charms’ like a special dollar bill or a card protector you bring to the casino when you play live poker?

Do you only wear your special Phil Hellmuth -signed WSOP shirt when putting in a weekend online session?

Sometimes these tokens aren’t even about feeling ‘lucky’ but instead are an easy way to feel ready and comfortable, keeping your mental game focused and being able to more easily play your A-game.

  1. Man that’s why my dollar stopped traveling around! Geez haha
    What that $50 dollar bill is unlucky we’ll let me take that off your hands. Happy to help.

  2. Short: only the bad ones.
    Long: Mr Galfond is obviously not superstitious, but more of a sentimental, hopeless romantic. I can respect that 😉

  3. Hi Phil! Can you put some free rolls on your poker site so we can build a bank roll?
