Default Adjustments
Good post. As for streaks within a session … one of the things that I think makes limit so much easier to master is all you need is the discipline NOT to change your play based on your wins/losses. I should have enough in front of me so I’m never feeling short stacked, and be unwilling to re-raise if I’m reasonably confident I have the best hand. If I lose to a bunch of bad beats, I can re-buy. On the flip side, if I’ve doubled my buy in when I flop a full house, that still doesn’t mean I should chase gutshot straights. Poker is a game of odds, and running hot/cold doesn’t change them.

But when I’m playing 25NL on Party, and get up to $40, I figure I SHOULD be playing differently, and be willing to invest a buck or two on suited connectors that I would fold if I only had $20 to play with. When and to what extent to make these adjustments is something I’m still working on.
