Horrible Luck in Poker

For a game where the majority of players rarely consider luck, there are tons of superstitions in poker. When you mention that a player was blessed in that poker tournament they captured, be mindful of how you say it. For example, if you mention that you were unlucky, your fortune may never change.

Ok, that might appear to be a bit strange, but poker is a game loaded with folklores. Did you realize that if you’re gambling a game with 2 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 have a run of bad cards, you have to sit on a hankerchief to destroy your poor luck? It is certainly thought of as good luck to blow through a pack of cards while they are being mixed up.

Some other fascinating poker folklores are:

  • You will be able to alter the run of cards by walking around your chair three times.
  • The luckiest position at the poker table faces the door.
  • The worst chair has its back to a fireplace.
  • When altering chairs, you should always do so clockwise.
  • The most detrimental poker card is the four of clubs.
  • It is most unfortunate to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
  • Fri is a poor day for playing cards.
  • The thirteenth is also a terrible day, no matter when it falls during the week.
