For a match where most players occasionally consider fortune, there are tons of folklore in poker. When you mention that a player was lucky in that poker tournament they captured, be careful of how you mention it. For instance, if you mention that you were unfortunate, your chances may never change.
Ok, that may sound a bit strange, but poker is a game loaded with folklores. Did you know that if you are betting a game with two seperate decks and you are asked to select the deck, you should always choose the deck of cards that’s furthest from you? Or, how about If you have a run of poor cards, you must settle on a hankerchief to break your bad luck? It is certainly thought of as good fortune to blow through a pack of cards while they are being shuffled.
Some other interesting poker superstitions are:
- You will be able to change the run of cards by going around your chair three times.
- The luckiest spot at the poker table faces the entrance.
- The unluckiest position has its back to a fireplace.
- When switching chairs, you should always do so following the clock.
- The unluckiest poker card is the four of clubs.
- It’s very unlucky to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
- Sun is a awful day for betting on cards.
- The 13th is also a bad day, no matter what day of the week it is.
