#5 Four Leaf Clover
The four leaf clover is famous and has been since the Old Testament was written. Eve left the Garden of Eden with a four leaf clover and many poker players take a four leaf clover with them into tense matches.

#4 Charm Bracelet
Charm bracelets are simple ways of wearing your luckiest charms on your sleeve with you at all times. Some poker players will wear charm bracelets to big games, although players that do wear charm bracelets might often touch them or shake them in tells.

#3 Money Bag
Money tied up in a bag along with a string along with a piece of citrine with it is associated with luck and money. Some poker players will take a bag of money with them into every game- although it does tend to be fairly small.

#2 Lucky Charms
Lucky charms are available in all shapes and sizes. Some come about as a result of being passed down through generations or gifted to others after games. A lot of people carry lucky charms with them either about their person or in a wallet for their whole lives- and poker players are no different.

#1 Lucky Underpants
Lucky underpants are way more common than one might expect when looking at a group of hardened poker professionals. Nevertheless, some players simply won’t play unless they’re wearing them- and they tend to be the pair the player was wearing when they first made a big win.
