… If someone at your table is playing cards poorly or appears to have bad luck, it’s probably just that. The theory is that the presence of the “cooler” in and of itself will, in turn, give bad luck to the rest of the table. What is a cooler in a casino?Ī cooler is a casino employee who is sent to tables to stop winning streaks. Whereas the winner of a bad beat is someone who didn’t play the hand correctly, both the winner and loser of a cooler hand have – in almost all situations – played the hand as it should have been played.
