Bad Luck in Poker
For a game where most players rarely consider luck, there are
lots of superstitions in poker. When you mention that someone
was lucky in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how
you say it. For instance, if you mention that you were unlucky,
your luck may never change.
Ok, that may sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game loaded with
superstitions. Did you know that if you are playing a game with
two seperate decks and you are asked to pick the deck, you
should always pick the deck of cards that is furthest from you?
Or, how about If you get a run of bad cards, you must sit on a
hankerchief to break your bad luck? It's actually considered
good luck to blow through a deck of cards while they are being
shuffled.
Some other fascinating poker superstitions are: - You
can change the run of cards by walking around your chair three
times.
- The luckiest seat at the poker table faces the
door.
- The unluckiest seat has it's back to a
fireplace.
- When changing seats, you should always do
so clockwise.
- The unluckiest poker card is the four of
clubs.
- It's very unlucky to sit with your legs crossed
at the poker table.
- Friday is a bad day for playing
cards.
- The 13th is also a bad day, regardless of what
day of the week it is.
For being such a game full of skill, many people still hold on
to the old superstitions.
