For a game where most enthusiasts rarely consider good luck, there are lots of folklore in poker. When you mention that an individual was blessed in that poker tournament they captured, be careful of how you mention it. For instance, if you say that you were unfortunate, your luck may not change.
Ok, that might appear to be a bit ubsurd, but poker is a casino game armed with folklores. Did you realize that if you are betting a game with two seperate decks and you are asked to choose the deck, you should always pick the deck of cards that is the furthest away from you? Or, how about If you get a run of terrible cards, you have to sit on a hankerchief to destroy your terrible luck? It’s certainly considered good luck to blow through a pack of cards while they are being shuffled.
Some other interesting poker folklores are:
- You might be able to change the run of cards by walking around your chair 3 times.
- The luckiest seat at the poker table faces the door.
- The unluckiest chair has its back to a fireplace.
- When shifting seats, you should constantly do so following the clock.
- The unluckiest poker card is the 4 of clubs.
- It is very unfortunate to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
- Sunday is a awful day for gambling on cards.
- The 13th is also a terrible day, regardless of when it falls.
