Doyle Brunson mentions a few superstitions in his book, and how they might have a kernel of logic to them.

Superstition: "Fifty dollar bills are unlucky."
Doyle: "Fifty dollar bills can be confused for five dollar bills."

Superstition: "Walking around your chair will change your luck."
Doyle: "Stretching your legs is always a good thing."

I totally agree.

I try to remember to get up and stretch every time there is a dealer change. Not a superstition AT ALL.

It amazes me how at poker some guys will sit there for hours on end without stretching.
