For a game where most enthusiasts occasionally consider good luck, there are lots of folklore in poker. When you mention that a player was fortunate in that poker tournament they won, be mindful of how you say it. For example, if you say that you were unfortunate, your fortune may not change.

Ok, that may appear to be a bit strange, but poker is a game loaded with folklores. Did you know that if you’re playing a game with 2 seperate decks and you are asked to pick the deck, you should always choose the deck of cards that is the furthest away from you? Or, how about If you have a streak of bad cards, you need to hang out on a hankerchief to destroy your horrible luck? It’s actually thought of as good luck to blow through a pack of cards when they are being randomized.

Some other fascinating poker folklores are:

  • You will be able to change the run of cards by passing around your chair three times.
  • The most beneficial position at the poker table faces the door.
  • The unluckiest spot has its rear to a fireplace.
  • When changing spots, you really should always do so clockwise.
  • The most detrimental poker card is the four of clubs.
  • It’s very unfortunate to cross your legs when sitting at the poker table.
  • Fri is a awful day for playing cards.
  • The 13th is also a terrible day, no matter when it falls during the week.
