I was wondering if anyone out here wears one of these bracelets... Or if anyone noticed any of the players on TV wearing one. I saw an infomercial last night and was also wondering if these really work and if they could be helpful for playing poker for long hours at a time. Thanks for any help and info that you guys can provide. The best thing about chiptalk is that there is a wealth of information available from the members. Everyone out here seems to be smarter than the average bear...of course if we ran into a smart bear we might be in a little trouble.

I know a couple people who own them and I've asked similar questions to them. Everyone swears by them and says they are great. One guy even said he could now fly .


I happen to think that homeostasis would kick in after a bit and you wouldn't notice it.

I used to wear one bowling but quit wearing it. I think it is mostly mental but when when I put my thumb and finger together like a ring and ask my brother to break apart my fingers they couldn't when I had it on.

OK fair warning, I'm stealing that line and using it everywhere else but here.

I think these bracelets fall into the same category as wearing a pyramid hat.

They are completely psychosomatic..... they have no proven benifit.
Here is a link describing what a bunch of crap it is:

However, I am a poker player so I am superstitious. If I thought I could play better wearing my lucky sock on my left hand, then that is what I would do. If this thing works for you, then wear it.

Personally, I wear a cap lined with tin foil to stop the other players from reading my mind.

Isn't it a little small for that purpose tho?

So now we have the liberator shapes from Wylecoyo and the unorthodox use of the Q-Ray bracelet from Smoore. Any other suggestions from the chiptalk community?
