For a game where the majority of participants rarely consider luck, there are lots of folklore in poker. When you say that a player was lucky in that poker tournament they captured, be careful of how you mention it. For instance, if you say that you were unlucky, your fortune may not change.
Ok, that may sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game loaded with folklores. Did you realize that if you’re betting a game with 2 seperate decks and you’re asked to choose the deck, you should always select the deck of cards that is the furthest away from you? Or, what If you get a run of terrible cards, you have to hang out on a hankerchief to destroy your bad luck? It is actually considered good fortune to blow through a deck of cards when they are being mixed up.
A few other interesting poker superstitions are:
- You can change the run of cards by passing around your chair three times.
- The luckiest position at the poker table faces the door.
- The unluckiest position has its back to a fireplace.
- When switching chairs, you need to constantly do so clockwise.
- The most detrimental poker card is the 4 of clubs.
- It is very unlucky to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
- Sunday is a poor day for gambling on cards.
- The 13th is also a terrible day, despite when it falls.
