For a game where the majority of players occasionally consider fortune, there are tons of folklore in poker. When you say that someone was blessed in that poker tournament they captured, be careful of how you say it. For instance, if you mention that you were unlucky, your fortune may never change.
Ok, that might appear to be a bit ubsurd, but poker is a casino game loaded with superstitions. Did you realize that if you’re playing a game with 2 seperate decks and you are asked to pick the deck, you should always pick the deck that is the furthest away from you? Or, how about If you get a run of bad cards, you must settle on a hankerchief to destroy your poor luck? It is certainly considered good fortune to blow through a pack of cards while they are being mixed up.
A few other fascinating poker folklores are:
- You might be able to alter the run of cards by going around your chair 3 times.
- The most beneficial position at the poker table looks at the entrance.
- The most detrimental position has its back to a fireplace.
- When changing seats, you need to always do so clockwise.
- The unluckiest poker card is the 4 of clubs.
- It’s most unfortunate to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
- Sunday is a horrible day for betting on cards.
- The thirteenth is also a terrible day, despite when it falls.
