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? |

The logic is if he has been hitting a lot of hands he will have a much easier time to bluff his opponents off of the flop if they both miss.

He's assuming that his streak or rush is enhancing his image at and command of the table, thus allowing him to run over his "intimidated" and now tight-weak opponents.

He's talking about his table image at that particular time when he is rushing.

Actually I don't think that's the only reason. Doyle has stated multiple times that he does believe in streaks. I believe his wording was something along the lines of "Scientists don't believe streaks exist, but I don't think one of those scientists makes more then 100 grand a year."
This does imply that he believes in streaks as more then just table image. |

The streaks are created by the player. Win a few pots in a row, you'll see that it becomes unbelievably easier to steal pots after a "streak" with rags in your hand because you've just shown the winning hand four times in a row, people begin to think you're "lucky" and that you actually do have the goods.
