Terrible Luck in Poker

For a game where most gamblers rarely consider fortune, there are tons of superstitions in poker. When you mention that an individual was fortunate in that poker tournament they captured, be mindful of how you say it. For instance, if you say that you were unfortunate, your fortune may never change.

Ok, that might sound a bit strange, but poker is a casino game loaded with folklores. Did you realize that if you are betting a game with 2 seperate decks and you’re asked to select the deck, you should always choose the deck of cards that is the furthest away from you? Or, how about If you get a run of terrible cards, you have to hang out on a hankerchief to destroy your horrible luck? It is actually considered good luck to blow through a pack of cards while they’re being shuffled.

A few other fascinating poker folklores are:

  • You can change the run of cards by going around your chair three times.
  • The luckiest position at the poker table faces the door.
  • The unluckiest position has its back to a fireplace.
  • When shifting spots, you need to constantly do so clockwise.
  • The unluckiest poker card is the 4 of clubs.
  • It is very unlucky to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
  • Fri is a poor day for gambling on cards.
  • The thirteenth is also a horrible day, no matter what day of the week it is.
