For a game where most gamblers occasionally consider fortune, there are tons of folklore in poker. When you mention that a player was lucky in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how you say it. For example, if you say that you were unfortunate, your fortune may not change.
Ok, that may appear to be a bit strange, but poker is a casino game armed with superstitions. Did you realize that if you’re betting a game with 2 different decks and you’re asked to choose the deck, you should always pick the deck that is furthest from you? Or, how about If you have a streak of bad cards, you must sit on a hankerchief to break your horrible luck? It is certainly considered good fortune to blow through a pack of cards while they are being shuffled.
Some other fascinating poker superstitions are:
- You might be able to change the run of cards by going around your chair 3 times.
- The most beneficial seat at the poker table faces the entry.
- The unluckiest chair has its rear to a fireplace.
- When altering spots, you need to always do so following the clock.
- The worst poker card is the 4 of clubs.
- It is very unlucky to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
- Sunday is a horrible day for betting on cards.
- The thirteenth is also a bad day, no matter what day of the week it is.
