For a game where most enthusiasts rarely consider good luck, there are lots of folklore in poker. When you say that someone was fortunate in that poker tournament they won, be mindful of how you say it. For example, if you mention that you were unlucky, your chances may not 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 betting a game with two seperate decks and you’re asked to pick the deck, you should always select the deck that is furthest from you? Or, what If you get a run of poor cards, you need to sit on a hankerchief to destroy your bad luck? It’s certainly thought of as good fortune to blow through a deck of cards when they are being mixed up.

A few other interesting poker folklores are:

  • You can alter the run of cards by walking around your chair three times.
  • The most beneficial position at the poker table looks at the entry.
  • The unluckiest spot has its back to a fireplace.
  • When changing chairs, you should constantly do so clockwise.
  • The most detrimental poker card is the 4 of clubs.
  • It’s most unfortunate to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
  • Sun is a terrible day for betting on cards.
  • The 13th is also a bad day, despite when it falls.
