Will it go round in circles?

Poker luck goes in cycles. When you are hot, you are hot. When you are not, you are not.

We’ve all had the experience of not seeming able to lose:

Hand after hand seems to work out in our favor.
Call with 7 5 suited and flop 5 10 5.
Hold two suited cards and flop the nut flush.
Hold Q 4 off suit and flop a full house.
Call with 3 8 suited and flop 333 for quads.

This is as good as it gets. While it lasts. As the saying goes, sometimes you are the windshield and sometimes you are the bug.

Poker luck comes and goes in cycles. Just as you have the miracle hands time after time you will have bad luck as well. Sometimes every bluff seems golden and other times nothing works in your favor. Accept it and learn to deal with it.

The key is to know when to back off and not lose all the chips you won with good luck on marginal calls and raises during the down cycle.

Laozi said, " Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?" If you are in a down phase with no decent cards and unable to bluff effectively because someone else at the table is getting great cards then slow it down and minimize your losses until the cycle returns to the upswing for you. Don't waste chips futilely trying to make something happen.

As Mark Twain said:

"By law of periodical repetition, everything which has happened once must happen again and again -- and not capriciously, but at regular periods, and each thing in its own period, not another's and each obeying its own law."

Be patient and play good poker while you wait for the good luck cycle to return.
