Mark,


There was an interview with Richard Tatalovich on Poker Pages recently which I was very impressed with. One of his themes was "why ask why ?". I think it applies perfectly here. There are a lot more useful things you can think about. Why do these things happen ? They just do !


One more point to try to make it clear : you say "if I see someone win with a pair of aces they usually don't have them again within a short period of time.". Well, if someone doesn't get Aces on a particular hand, they also usually don't have them again within a short period of time. Just like Greg says, you can observe random patterns in the past, but it doesn't help you predict the future.


Andy.
