Does anyone have any habits or superstitions when it comes to playing pinball? Similar to baseball players and doing/or not doing certain things during the game. I no longer shout out "hey look how good I'm doing!" because it was always a guaranteed drain within 3 seconds.

So, do you just hold this prior to the game for good luck?
Whenever I purchase a game I put a part of my lower body in the coin return. To this day only 5 games have gotten "the business".
inspect the PF see what Im working with also push the start button to see if theres a noise/call out or partial credit, free game.

Any potential future customers please bookmark this and bring multiple forms of hand sanitizers upon inspection of the machines haha
I don't do it during regular playing but during tournaments I have to pull up my socks. Do it in between balls or in long breaks in the game. Do this when bowling too for some reason.
One might catch me doing a little Jig, after getting the super jackpot, or hard fought extra ball...It embaresses the wife!
Actively manage nutrients. It is important to control what I put into my body because the fuel source must must remain pure. On day of competition I will only eat white bread with two types of lunch meat, two types of cheese and Shasta...lots of Shasta. One of the meats must be bolgna. Think I copied this from my personal coach and mentor.
Quoted from Robotoes:after a locked ball/first ball of the game I always give the shooter rod three clockwise spins.
you know - a little "how do you do" if you get my drift.
