Interesting comments (at best)

I hate when I hear a pro on television say something like "I called b/c I felt it coming." Yeah, sometimes it's just in the excitement of the moment. But sometimes they'll say something like that in an interview post-tournament. Bullshit! I guess it makes me realize that even some of the best in the world have a little bit of degenerate gambler in them. You go on a rush and you're hitting everything? It's random variance!!

I agree -- BUT I think card rushes do occur and dead rushes do occur also. I realize this makes no sense bc technically there is the same 52 cards in each deal all random...but I have had sessions where I was just hitting it and session when I wasn't.

I remember one session I was dealt 15 (yes 15) medium pocket pairs and I saw every flop and didn't hit one set.

I had another session where I flopped 4 sets with 6 middle pairs. That same session I couldn't miss a draw, I forget the actual stats, but I was nailing every draw I flopped. I was also getting dealt great cards, I had Aces 3 times King 4, etc etc.

I guess yea it was random varience, but I was on a good rush of cards and it continued.... I dunno

Groundbreaking News! Sometimes, you can run extremely hot. Other times, you can run extremely cold.

Thats all I was saying. The final table of WSOP players are generally players who have been on card rushes for 6 days. I was simply saying these rushes of great cards or cold rushes do exist

[johnp158]

Absolutely. My point was that it's all within the realm of random variance. As one of my statistics professors used to say, "Statistics are lumpy." Meaning you'll get the appearance of non-random-looking patterns that are quite random.

Doyle Brunson almost always plays the hand after he wins a pot.

[Zybomb]

is that a leak in his game?

[Talking Poker]

I believe so. He clearly does not.

You decide which one of us is right.
