Card Playing
The pastime of playing cards is usually reserved for the autumn/winter months. Many games are being organised around now and greatly looked forward to.
Card players rely largely on their skills and of course on luck for success, but often stick to obscure rituals before a game, just as many sportsmen do before a big match.
Many players favour lucky cards or numbers during play and run a black card is feared.
Any player who finds himself or herself holding two pairs of aces over eight's may also feel a frisson of fear this is the fabled 'dead man's hand' reputedly held by Wild Bill Hickok when he was murdered.
The four of clubs is described by some as the Devil's bedstead and is loathed by many players, Finally, players suffering from a run of bad luck should be careful of not losing their temper as this will only worsen their luck.
