When some unusual things happen at a poker table, it can become stunning to your opponent and the
rest of world sometimes.
Always left wondering, ’ What are the odds of that happening? "
I was searching for an example of synchronicity and found a good one with Daniel Negreanu.
I’d like to hear your stories about synchronicity, regarding to the topic of poker only.
Mainly, discussions about the odds, and the discovery of the ultimate occurrence with the highest odds.
The idea that synchronicity is associated with self-actualization is one that appeals to me.
You see it most commonly in poker because a lot of players consciously wish for the cards they need and then bam!!! You get them. I love when that happens.
The power of thought sent to the universe.
I can testify to that, has happened to me many times. I believe positive thinking and attitude also has influence of the outcome.
The odds of calling the turn and the river (1,980 to 1)
I believe in the power of positive thinking as well, but don’t you think the other players in a hand are consciously or subconsciously wishing for their cards too? How does the universe know who to listen to?
Very good question, didn’t say I get the win every time. But when it happens, that just increases the positive thinking for the rest of the tourney.
I don’t think this has anything to do with winning hands . Like the thread title says, synchronicity is associated with self-actualization which is the realization or fulfillment of one’s talents and potentialities, especially considered as a drive or need present in everyone.
You just have to learn to tap into that realization which comes from the universe and some people have all of the success in the life same thing as people have the “luck” genes but in synchronicity it can be developed.
Although it’s nice I don’t think
Positive thinking and attitude have anything to do with wing hands. The thread is about synchronicity and self - awareness
The universe listens to those that have pure intentions and ask the universe for guidance on what matters most . Sort of like wishful thinking on a higher plane. Those that experience it are receiving the gift they asked for. It is a free gift for all that just believe and ask with good intentions.
Guess I have been sending my thought to the one who created the universe!!! I hope I haven’t got off the great topic you created @Excaliburns
that’s a big call, Litenin, which I don’t believe for a moment
Litenin,

This topic is so vast, it’s easy to drift off over the lines.
Focusing on the poker aspect will keep us from drifting.
“Excaliburns”
Agree 200% 
I could go on and on but sticking to the topic of Poker is what the thread is all about.
I dont have a lot of these type of situations happen to me. That’s because I usually, almost always choose good spots to bluff, usually make good folds behind, and usually make folds a lot are incapable of making, and usually get my chips, stacks in good, and usually avoid, have the good luck of not being in trainwrecks, coolers where I behind.
Because of that, that usually leads to me extremely rarely bad beating others, and leads to me getting bad beat a lot, because I often have, am the MURPHY of poker, and have a lot of bad luck.
But despite that, because I am a good enough player, and play enough volume, I am still a winning player over the long term.
Despite that I sometimes on extreme rare occasion get my chips in bad, get called, or call others behind, and then get lucky and bad beat others.
And despite that I have definitely had some WOW, amazing suckouts, bad beats against some other players, that I have bad beated.
My bad beat ratio is that I usually give out .25 to .33 to .50 to .67 of 1 bad beat per tournament, and 1 bad beat per every about every 2.5 tournaments, and ussually get bad beat about 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6 times per tournament for every bad beat I give out.
Also I usually dont wish for a suckout when I am behind, because usually 1. I dont deserve it, because I was behind, made a mistake, etc. 2. When I have wished it, it has extremely rarely ever happened in my favor. 3. My luck has been so bad at times, that I thought why bother wishing. 4. because of the other points, I have gotten into the habit of not wishing, and just accepting the likely to happen, result, etc. 5. Because I dont believe in the power of wishing, the universe supposedly bringing you a suck out, as I believe in odds, percents, likelyhoods, variance, etc, and so if either me or somebody else gets lucky, thats not wishing, universe, positive thinking, etc, bringing you a suck out, etc, as thats just odds, percents, randomness, variance, etc playing out, as 22, etc, is supposed to beat AA all in preflop about 17% of the time, so when, if 22 does beat out AA all in preflop, or on the river, after a all in on the flop postflop, thats supposed to happen a certain percentage of time, and that has nothing to do with wishing, calling it out, positive thinking, the universe, etc. Whats gona happen in poker will happen, no matter how much you wish, hope, believe, positive think, ask the universe, etc, etc. If you flip a coin, nothing you do is going to make it come up heads, if you bet heads, as whether it comes up either heads or tails is just random chance, that has nothing to do with what you do, say, think, hope, etc.
The synchronicities in life are so precisely timed and have enormous meaning at that
exact moment, it doesn’t happen by chance.
What if every second of our lives are already planned by us and approved?
So now we have the free will and decide to live that life.
No memory of the planning remains at birth.
The synchronicities and everything else at the poker table are all predestined by us.
Since we are making a decision by calculating odds sometimes 50-50, a coin flip, our
higher self already knows the outcome
All we do is tap into our higher self for guidance.
No thinking to quiet the mind.
A strong feeling overcomes us, and we act upon it.
Is it really a random chance?
Thank you Asuronetorius for posting.
