I'd hit 2 big hands in a row (~12BBish pots)
Personally I think cycles are a natural part of everything, and thus applies to poker too. Feel free to flame [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] UTG is new to the table, no reads. Button is a veritable atm machine, he's been the one paying me off the last 100 hands.

People streak all the time but it doesn't affect my play
And no, I don't streak myself. Do you think I should? |

I ordinarily wouldn't call there.
I based my preflop call on the streak I was on. Am I the only one that does this? is kind of the question I was asking [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

i agree that streaks do happen, but that this has to do with chance, and is not based on what has happened in previous hands. EVERY hand is completely random and should not be treated any differently just because you may have broken KK with your 24o last hand. Streaks happen regardless of you playing good or bad hands, but that does not mean that playing bad hands in order to continue a streak will be profitable. My opinion is that it's your natural instinct screwing with your common sense when you make bad plays like this.

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 know I've read/heard Brunson quoting the same idea. Something to the extent of he only knew of one poker player that didn't belive in streaks.
I'll probably continue to put a small weight on streaks on close preflop calls. But when I called this I was like wtf digs. So this is a bit of an extreme example that I should have mucked clearly. Sounds like I'm the only one doing this then? Oh well [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |
