Cards run in streaks. Absolute proof below:

I used the rush concept when I won 2K at a donkament and decided to run it up playing 2/4NL. I don't know if you know what this means, but EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I think even in the book Doyle acknowledges there is no correlation/scientific reasoning why one is more likely to win another pot just because he just won one.

His point was more that attentive players would commit a psychological/mental error by somehow thinking hes on a streak and play more timidly - a self-fulfilling prophecy.

I think this works better if you got a LAG style.

This concept is much less useful online ESPECIALLY SSNL. I suspect it *might* have a little merit at higher stakes with attentive players... but I wouldn't know [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

In Super System Doyle talks about how when he wins a pot he automatically plays the next and normally for a raise. This allows him to go on a "rush". I believe in rushes and havent tried this but I was interested in what some of you guys think. I assume no one has really tried it but what are your guys thoughts?

POTD

This is primarily for live games where a winning/running hot image has a bigger impact on how your opponents play against you.

Doyle also wrote a book for online play. In that book, the preface says something like:

If you play online like I told you in SuperSystem, you are going to lose all of your money.

Umm tell me have you seen him doing in high stakes anything he wrote in SS? Nop.

Every hand is an independent event. Acting like you're "on a rush" only works for lame and unsophisticated/superstitious players.

Which describes 90% of the people I play against in live games.

Yes and no. The cards are independent. The players, however, have memory. Moreso live than online just because you see more of the same faces live than online, until you reach the higher levels.

But oftentimes, to properly play a hand requires the context of prior hands with this particular foe.
