jjgoldy5 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I do.The past few times I have gone out of my way to do something nice for someone, I have gotten absolutely great luck at the tables.Once, I give a few bucks to a homeless guy: Go deep and win a nice chunk of change in a live MTT.Give 5 bucks to guy who claims to be out of gas: Play online win a lotGive a loaf of bread to a homeless guy: Play online win a lotIt just keeps happening.Others have talked about similar phenomenons:http://www.fullcontactpoker.com/poker-foru...p;#entry1285577If nothing else, it is another reason for us to do nice things for people.

ricker 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 I totally. I was randomly playing on bodog last month when a guy needed a dollar put into his paypal account for some TV subscription he wanted to get. I paypal him a buck. No big deal right?The next night, I take third in the 25k guarantee on bodog...So yeah, I believe in Karma. Link to post Share on other sites

jjgoldy5 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Author Share Posted October 19, 2006 It could really be a case of selective association / positive reinforcement... ie you only remember the times you do something nice and then immediately see some sort of result, but it has happened to me a LOT lately.

poguemahone68 0 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 Every time my fiance walks into the room when I'm playing poker, people hit 2,3 and 4 outers on me without fail. It started to become a joke, but I stopped messing with her about it, cause she really started to believe she was cursed, lol.I kicked her a$$ out of the house 2 weekends ago and haven't had a losing night since. She has come back to the house a few times and if I'm playing, the beats happen until she leaves, it's completely bizarre.I might have been able to save the relationship had I purchased a decent tin foil hat.

However it could just be that my play was disrupted being too worried about being " that guy " with his girl friend at the table. Link to post Share on other sites

When you do nothing and get lucky you got nothin to say why it happened and/or you come up w/ a reason like this one. Just be a nice guy not to get lucky in poker, but just to be a nice guy Link to post Share on other sites

EurekaKid 0 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I don't think you have to be Mother Theresa in life, but as long as you try your best in all your tasks and generally try to be a good person I believe that things will fall into place for you. I don't know whether I beleive in some sort of spiritual force, just hard work and good nature I guess. Link to post Share on other sites
