Horrible Luck in Poker

by Bo on November 24th, 2010

For a game where most players occasionally consider luck, there are tonnes of superstitions in poker. When you mention that someone was blessed in that poker tournament they won, be mindful of how you say it. For example, if you mention that you were unfortunate, your luck may never change.

Ok, that may sound a bit strange, but poker is a casino game loaded with superstitions. Did you know that if you’re playing a game with two different decks and you’re 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 poor cards, you need to settle on a hankerchief to destroy your horrible luck? It’s certainly considered good fortune to blow through a pack of cards when they are being randomized.

A few other fascinating poker superstitions are:

  • You will be able to change the run of cards by passing around your chair three times.
  • The luckiest spot at the poker table looks at the entry.
  • The worst position has its back to a fireplace.
  • When switching spots, you need to constantly do so clockwise.
  • The unluckiest poker card is the four of clubs.
  • It is most unfortunate to sit with your legs crossed at the poker table.
  • Mon is a awful day for wagering on cards.
  • The 13th is also a bad day, no matter when it falls.
