Re: Is this winning pattern unusual
The answer, I think, lies in what sorts of "monster pots" you're taking down. Here are some possibilities:
1. The deck is being very nice to you. Small PPs are turning into sets on the flop. AA, KK are showing up more often than you'd expect -- and are holding up against multiple bettors. Perfectly OK, but brace yourself for the times those starting hands don't improve or get cracked.
2. You've been hitting some 2- and 3-outers at the river to make a bundle. Not sustainable; prepare for tougher times.
3. You're shrewdly calculating pot odds and implied odds for draws -- and hitting your share of jumbo pots with 8-outers and 9-outers for straights and flushes. As long as you're not an outrageous luck box, this may be sustainable and a key part of how you're going to win $$.
4. You're playing at times (Friday evening, etc.) when there are lots of stubborn, tipsy people at the tables and they're calling you down when they should be folding. Or you've got some favorite fish on your buddy list. As long as you've got the discipline to do most of your playing when the tables are sloppiest, this is very sustainable.
