Bad Fortune in Poker
by Amari on May.17, 2010, under Poker
For a game where the majority of enthusiasts occasionally consider good luck, there are lots of superstitions in poker. When you mention that a player was blessed in that poker tournament they captured, be careful of how you mention it. For instance, if you say that you were unlucky, your fortune may never change.
Ok, that may sound a bit strange, but poker is a game armed with superstitions. Did you know that if you are playing a game with two 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 have a run of poor cards, you have to settle on a hankerchief to destroy your poor luck? It’s certainly thought of as good fortune to blow through a pack of cards when they are being shuffled.
Some other fascinating poker folklores are:
- You can alter the run of cards by passing around your chair three times.
- The luckiest position at the poker table looks at the door.
- The worst spot has its rear to a fireplace.
- When shifting chairs, you really should constantly do so following the clock.
- The worst poker card is the four of clubs.
- It is very unfortunate to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
- Sun is a awful day for wagering on cards.
- The thirteenth is also a bad day, regardless of when it falls during the week.
