Hello out there in TPEland,
Got a hypothetical question for you folks:
Your in a group of people, in this group there are a total of 4 people including you. One person you like, one person you don’t like, one person you don’t really know.
Now say for whatever the reason you can’t tell the people apart by their appearance, maybe ya went blind and have hearing problems. Any way, do you think that subconsciously you’ll still treat them the same as before when you could tell the difference?
I believe the human mind can do many things we can not consciously perceive. This does have to do with poker…getting to that.
So a dealer at a live game that likes a regular, do you think the person liked vs. someone that’s an asshole to the dealer has a better chance of getting good cards that hit? and vs. an unknown person would the dealer have a more neutral subconscious reaction to them and in turn give out cards.
I find that lots of winners are either locals and liked, or well known pros….and liked.
what do ya think?

In a cash game at least, dealers will like winners better because they will have more opportunities to tip because they will have won more pots.
There’s a Family Guy in which everyone has amnesia, yet Quagmire still gets annoyed with Brian over time. Good stuff.

Not sure… I doubt it Ray…although I do believe in the power of positive energy…put positive energy out there it will be reflected back and magnified. Same though with negative energy!

Am I reading this correctly that you’re asking if it is possible that attitude/feelings can affect the fall of cards?
If so, then the answer is no, and that to go any further down this line of thinking is superstition and definitely not +EV. Just focus on making good decisions, not pseudoscience ‘The Secret’ crap.

You’re mixing up cause and effect. People don’t win at poker and run good because they’re nice people. They win at poker because they’re good players with the right attitude to the game who don’t have mental game issues which cause them to make poor decisions.
That said, there are plenty of nice people who run absolutely horribly their entire poker careers and quit, and also plenty of awful people who run really good and succeed. Poker is not a game of fairness.
There is a very strong correlation between nice people and people with good mental game habits, and between people with good mental game habits and winning poker players. There’s no correlation whatsoever between being nice and getting better cards.
