Terrible Fortune in Poker
For a game where most participants occasionally consider good luck, there are tons of superstitions in poker. When you say that a player was lucky in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how you say it. For instance, if you say that you were unfortunate, your luck may never change.
Ok, that may appear to be a bit strange, but poker is a game armed with superstitions. Did you realize that if you are gambling a game with 2 seperate decks and you are asked to pick the deck, you should always pick the deck that is furthest from you? Or, how about If you have a streak of bad cards, you need to settle on a hankerchief to break your horrible luck? It is certainly considered good luck to blow through a pack of cards while they are being mixed up.
