Re: Help going on a massive heater
Pre-flop: This part is easy, start with big pairs, JJ+. It's fine to throw in a few suited broadways to mix things up, but for the most part just keep getting dealt the premium pairs.
Post-flop: This is where a lot of heater experts disagree. Some of them want to stay in the lead all hand, every hand and simply squeeze value out of strong second besters and draws that miss. Others say to really pile up the value you must allow other players to temporarily make better hands. This technique is called "drafting" after the racing tactic.
Drafting is riskier but ultimately more rewarding. You must have strong re-sucking skills to make this work. Most agree that your CapWhileBhnd should be somewhere between .75 and .85 and your MiracleRvr should be 90 and up before attempting a Drafting-based rush.
A good mnemonic is Forget Toiletpaper? Tree Bark Refreshes Quickly (Flop Trips, Turn Boats, River Quads)
Also, you never want to be too predictable so I would toss in a few bluffs that don't get called purely for metagame purposes.
