Well, Do You Feel Lucky?
No matter how a player approaches the game of poker - calculating every decision to achieve optimal results, going with their gut or simply letting their cards dictate the action - everybody at the table needs a little luck to get by. Whether in the form of superstitious habits, favorite card protectors or even a particular meal before a long session, poker players all hope to have luck at their back when they sail out into the tempestuous seas of a long tournament.
For one player here today at the Borgata Winter Poker Open WPT Main Event, luck is squarely on his side and it will be for as long he's here. Shaun Suller made sure of that.
Suller decided to don an Indianapolis Colts jersey featuring the name and number of that team's phenom quarterback. And while an Andrew Luck jersey sighting a month or two ago would have been standard fare for a football fan on the felt, with the Super Bowl slated for next Sunday and the Colts sitting at home, we suspect Suller's fashion statement is more superstition than super fandom.
