For a game where most players rarely consider fortune, there are tonnes of superstitions in poker. When you mention that someone was blessed in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how you mention it. For example, if you mention that you were unfortunate, your chances may never change.
Ok, that may sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game armed with superstitions. Did you realize that if you’re gambling a game with 2 different decks and you’re asked to select the deck, you should always choose the deck that is furthest from you? Or, how about If you get a streak of poor cards, you have to hang out on a hankerchief to destroy your poor luck? It’s actually considered good luck to blow through a deck of cards when they’re being mixed up.
