Lucky you sat down,' I want to say, though of course I don't. Except in certain situations I'd just as soon the dolts not know they're dolts, so I don't point it out. A seat is only luck as a function of the butt that inhabits it.
Superstition is for subhumans.
Never ask for a seat change unless it improves your strategic position. Never ask for a deck change, unless you're certain it'll piss someone off, maybe put him on tilt. Never, ever, complain about your rotten luck. That'll just make you look weak and convince the morons you're playing against that they can get lucky against you. They didn't go home right away, Meg and Jim.
