For a match where the majority of enthusiasts rarely consider luck, there are tonnes of folklore in poker. When you say that a player was blessed in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how you say it. For example, if you say that you were unlucky, your luck may not change.

Ok, that might sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game armed with superstitions. Did you realize that if you are playing a game with 2 different decks and you’re asked to choose the deck, you should always pick the deck of cards that’s the furthest away from you? Or, how about If you get a run of bad cards, you must settle on a hankerchief to destroy your bad luck? It’s actually thought of as good luck to blow through a pack of cards when they’re being randomized.

A few other interesting poker superstitions are:

  • You can alter the run of cards by going around your chair 3 times.

  • The most detrimental seat has its rear to a fireplace.
  • When changing chairs, you really should constantly do so following the clock.
  • The unluckiest poker card is the four of clubs.
