For a game where the majority of enthusiasts rarely consider fortune, there are lots of folklore in poker. When you mention that someone was blessed in that poker tournament they won, be mindful of how you mention it. For example, if you say that you were unlucky, your fortune may never change.

Ok, that may appear to be a bit strange, but poker is a game armed with superstitions. Did you realize that if you are betting a game with two seperate decks and you’re asked to select the deck, you should always select the deck of cards that’s the furthest away from you? Or, how about If you get a streak of bad cards, you must settle on a hankerchief to destroy your terrible luck? It’s actually thought of as good luck to blow through a pack of cards when they are being shuffled.

Some other fascinating poker folklores are:

  • You might be able to alter the run of cards by going around your chair three times.
  • The luckiest chair at the poker table looks at the entrance.
  • The unluckiest chair has its rear to a fireplace.
  • When changing seats, you should constantly do so clockwise.
  • The most detrimental poker card is the four of clubs.
  • It’s most unfortunate to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
  • Friday is a poor day for playing cards.
  • The 13th is also a bad day, regardless of when it falls.
