For a game where the majority of players rarely consider good luck, there are tons of superstitions in poker. When you mention that an individual was fortunate in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how you say it. For example, if you mention that you were unlucky, your chances may never change.
Ok, that might appear to be a bit strange, but poker is a game armed with superstitions. Did you know that if you’re gambling a game with two different decks and you are asked to select the deck, you should always pick the deck of cards that is furthest from you? Or, how about If you have a run of terrible cards, you have to settle on a hankerchief to break your terrible luck? It’s actually considered good fortune to blow through a deck of cards when they’re being randomized.
A few other fascinating poker superstitions are:
- You can alter the run of cards by passing around your chair 3 times.
- The luckiest seat at the poker table looks at the door.
- The unluckiest spot has its back to a fireplace.
- When changing seats, you need to always do so following the clock.
- The most detrimental poker card is the 4 of clubs.
- It is most unfortunate to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
- Mon is a awful day for gambling on cards.
- The 13th is also a horrible day, no matter when it falls.
