Bad Fortune in Poker

[ English ]

For a game where most players rarely consider good luck, there are lots of superstitions in poker. When you mention that someone was blessed in that poker tournament they captured, be careful of how you say it. For example, if you mention that you were unfortunate, your chances may not change.

Ok, that may sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game loaded with folklores. Did you know that if you’re betting a game with 2 different decks and you are asked to choose the deck, you should always pick the deck of cards that is furthest from you? Or, how about If you get a streak of terrible cards, you need to hang out on a hankerchief to break your horrible luck? It is actually considered good luck to blow through a pack of cards when they are being mixed up.

A few other interesting poker superstitions are:

  • You will be able to alter the run of cards by going around your chair three times.
  • The luckiest spot at the poker table looks at the entry.
  • The most detrimental seat has its rear to a fireplace.
  • When altering seats, you really should constantly do so following the clock.
  • The most detrimental poker card is the four of clubs.
  • It’s most unlucky to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
  • Sun is a awful day for playing cards.
  • The thirteenth is also a terrible day, despite when it falls.
