Default Brunson Question

I posted this in a few other forums a few days ago but except AZKs interesting but fairly vague psychology response (I would love if you could elaborate on this AZK) I didnt get too much worthwile imput.

The main issue I have here with the psychology of this play is that when I (and I would imagine most good players) see someone win a few pots in a row my 1st response definately isin't "oh he must always have good hands".

-----------------------------------------------------

So I just finished rereading Super System, and it is making mroe and more sense. Here is a passage that doesn't make sense to me though. It seems like Doyle is being supersticious.

(Talking about small suited connectors)

"Normally I wouldnt want to get more than 5% (maybe 10%) of my money involved before the flop with this type of hand. If I get as much as 20% of my money in with that hand....I'd have to be rushing. I wouldn't do it unless I was on a streak."

-is there a logical basis to this or does the WSOP champ actually beleive he has better odds of hitting his hand if he won the last hand?
