For a game where the majority of enthusiasts occasionally consider luck, there are lots of superstitions in poker. When you say that a player was fortunate in that poker tournament they won, be careful of how you mention it. For example, if you say that you were unfortunate, your chances may not change.
Ok, that might sound a bit ubsurd, but poker is a game loaded with superstitions. Did you realize 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 that is furthest from you? Or, how about If you get a streak of poor cards, you have to sit on a hankerchief to break your terrible luck? It is certainly thought of as good fortune to blow through a pack of cards while they are being mixed up.
