Bad Luck in Poker

For a game where most players occasionally consider fortune, there are tonnes of folklore in poker. When you mention that someone was fortunate in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how you say it. For example, if you say that you were unfortunate, your chances may not change.

Ok, that may sound a bit strange, but poker is a casino game armed with superstitions. Did you realize that if you’re wagering a game with two seperate decks and you’re asked to pick the deck, you should always choose the deck of cards that’s the furthest away from you? Or, what If you have a streak of poor cards, you need to settle on a hankerchief to destroy your horrible luck? It’s actually thought of as good luck to blow through a deck of cards while they’re being mixed up.

A few other interesting poker folklores are:

  • You might be able to alter the run of cards by passing around your chair three times.
  • The most beneficial chair at the poker table looks at the entry.
  • The most detrimental seat has its rear to a fireplace.
  • When switching seats, you need to always do so following the clock.
  • The worst poker card is the four of clubs.
  • It is very unlucky to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
  • Monday is a bad day for wagering on cards.
  • The thirteenth is also a terrible day, regardless of what day of the week it is.
