Re: Does streaking affect your preflop play?
 

obviously streaks don't effect your luck on any future cards - however they can effect people's perception of your play (especially if you don't go to SD). I think this is what the OP was originally getting at? (and hasn't had a chance to reply himself yet).

I have a vague memory of the first Hold'em book I bought in which the author talked about jumping on/off streaks when they started or stopped. I threw it out.

I think that was S/S1, and the author was Doyle Brunson.

K6off vs a UTG raiser and a caller is a really weak hand... I'd prefer 9To/89o/JTo here than K6o/A6o... With K6 even if you spike a K you are probably dominated here and you will lose a few more bucks. I Fold preflop

A hot streak can, however, have a psychological effect on the table. If you can put somebody on tilt by snapping off a premium hand and then needling him, there might be some value to making a loose preflop call. (This is probably more true, however, in NL than in limit poker.)
