For a match where most enthusiasts rarely consider luck, there are lots of folklore in poker. When you mention that someone was fortunate in that poker tournament they won, be mindful of how you mention it. For example, if you mention that you were unfortunate, your chances may not change.
Ok, that might sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game loaded with folklores. Did you know that if you are gambling a game with two different decks and you’re asked to pick the deck, you should always pick the deck of cards that’s furthest from you? Or, how about If you have a run of poor cards, you need to settle on a hankerchief to break your horrible luck? It’s actually considered good luck to blow through a pack of cards when they are being randomized.
Some other interesting poker superstitions are:
- You can alter the run of cards by walking around your chair 3 times.
- The luckiest seat at the poker table looks at the door.
- The worst position has its back to a fireplace.
- When switching chairs, you should constantly do so clockwise.
- The unluckiest poker card is the four of clubs.
- It’s most unfortunate to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
- Sunday is a bad day for gambling on cards.
- The 13th is also a terrible day, despite what day of the week it is.
