For a match where the majority of players rarely consider luck, there are tonnes of folklore in poker. When you say that a player was fortunate in that poker tournament they captured, be careful of how you say it. For example, if you mention that you were unlucky, your fortune may not change.
Ok, that might sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game armed with superstitions. Did you realize that if you’re betting a game with two seperate decks and you are asked to choose the deck, you should always choose the deck of cards that’s furthest from you? Or, how about If you get a streak of bad cards, you need to hang out on a hankerchief to break your horrible luck? It is certainly considered good luck to blow through a deck of cards when they’re being shuffled.
A few other interesting poker superstitions are:
- You can alter the run of cards by passing around your chair three times.
- The most beneficial seat at the poker table faces the entrance.
- The worst spot has its back to a fireplace.
- When switching chairs, you should always do so following the clock.
- The worst poker card is the 4 of clubs.
- It is very unfortunate to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
- Mon is a horrible day for wagering on cards.
- The thirteenth is also a horrible day, regardless of what day of the week it is.
