Cards running in Cycles
I was reading through a holdem book the other night and ran across the following:
"Cards can and do run in cycles. The theory of large numbers says so. If you experience a period where it seems like nothing but the low cards are winning the pots, then it is a perfectly legitimate strategy change to start playing low cards" anyone care to comment on this ?

Re: Cards running in Cycles
1) nothing in the "theory of large numbers" says anything about cards having to run in cycles.
2) I think this is bad advice.

Re: Cards running in Cycles
This is obviously completely wrong but I was wondering if the book includes specific citation info for this theory. I'm curious to see someone try to explain the idea behind this theory.
Good luck, Matt

Re: Cards running in Cycles
the page continues with:
"This would be an excellent time to vary your play so you dont get a reputation as strictly a high card player. It kills your action when everyone knows exactly what kind of cards youre probably holding. The trick is knowing when the cycle ends and low cards should not be played anymore. Playing low cards, such as 76o, 65s, 63s do win some pretty big pots but you cannot play them consistently if you want to be a big winner at this game." Then he follows it up with 2 pages of rules like dropping if an A hits flop or if there is a substancial pf raise. For this to be effective as a way of advertising false weak play you would have to play it to the end though.
