I created this thread to see how strange I may be when it comes to playing pool. When I shoot I feel the need to have a lot of thing's a certain way.
I feel that I can't play well when I have thing's in my pockets. Key's, change, cell phone etc. I prefer to wear a certain style of clothing. I can't wear hat's, glasses.
Before I go to play in any semiserious tourney's, I have the same routine in the morning. I have to eat 3 hour's plus before I have to play. I also read a section in one of my instructional books. (I have already read in full every book I own.) I reread a section just to get myself in the mood. lol
Just wondering if anybody else has superstition's or pre game/tourny routine's, or and I just completely weird. If you would like to share yours.

Yes! When I'm in a place with tables and I see Landshark coming in to play I take my wet dog and leave. :D :p :D

I've always been a little superstitious about clothing. If I compete successfully wearing certain clothes, I like to wear that same outfit in the next tournament.
 
I am a little supersitious lol,


Normally if i am playing good, in a weekly tournament i might wear the same clothes only on that day ( clean of course ) lol. And if i happend to eat before the tournament, or in the afternoon, i will goto the same place.

Also with clothes i hafta be comfortable, i also tend to only keep a quarter in my front pocket for the flip, and put my chalk cube in my back pocket lol.

the last thing i do is pray that Marissa Yi will walk into the pool hall and She will throw herself at me confessing her undieing love for me :)

ok, joking about the last one

Yuk! In a pool hall or bar....are you nuts? [Shudder]

I posted this in your referenced thread, but it needs to be said again:

The problem with mystical supertitions is that you're giving up your power to some thing outside of yourself. So if you win, YOU didn't really win, the object did it for you. If you lose, YOU didn't really lose, the object didn't work usually because of some OTHER superstition.

Makes it kinda convenient doesn't it?

It's bullshit and should be taken out of your shot immediately.

LMAO!!!! When we went to get our marriage license, the county clerk had to ask us a few questions...name, age, have you ever been married...those types of questions. She asked him the same questions, except the last one was not asked to me...she turns to him, totally straight faced and asked him, "Your relationship to the bride?" It was one of the standard questions on the license application.
