How are your insanely hot stretches? (poker).

[AlexMR]

For how long do they usually last?

What happens out of the ordinary? Hitting too much draws, sets, etc? Outdrawing lots of people?

Simply getting paid a lot?

I was curious about this. My last one didnt last too long and i think it's always been getting paid and maybe getting a good amount of strong hands. But i cant remember anything extraordinary. I think the last time i felt i was running super hot my winrate was 10ish ptbb/100 for maybe 7K hands. That's pretty good if you consider my 1-2ptbb/100 lonf term winrate.

Describe your hot stretches.

They all depend, lately having 2 winning sessions in a row is a hot stretch. Poker is all about timing and making correct decisions. Heaters for me are making my big hands at the right time, flopping a set vs AA instead of a missed AK, getting sucked out less than normal when I get my money in good. Its kind of a weird concept but winning 5 out of 6 times you get in with a set vs a flush draw is a heater since you have made more money than than EV dictates you should have. Last summer I had like a 20 sessions heater. It would be really nice to have another one of those.

I've run at 4-5 bb/100 (lhe) for 10k stretches a couple of times. This is the sole reason i'm a winning player as far as i can tell.

For me it's all about the horrible players. I may be getting only mediocre cards but I'm getting paid when I'm surrounded by bad players.

Site selection, table selection and opponent targeting, plus some luck ==> hot streak
