Default Ever had a run like this?

In the last 4 hours of poker, 3.5 hours at a b&M and now a half hour online, here's my luck.

8 pocket pairs - out of the 8, 7 flopped (yes, flopped) trips! Out of the 7, I filled up 3 times. Did lose 1 of those times when someone drew to an inside straight.

Been playing the pairs hard to (raise, reraise with any pair) and have been winning big. Up 100 big bets as of right now.

Have you ever had a run like that? I haven't, but I'm enjoying it, and hopefully still in it.

Any math guys no the odds of hitting like that? Maybe I need to buy a lotto ticket.

Default That's fantastic

I've had some very good runs, but nothing like 7 out of 8 pairs to sets. 100BB is amazing -- what level are you playing at?

Thinking back, my good luck/most profitable session tend to arrive not in amazing hands, but instead in sharing the table with amazing opponents, who will do things like raise against my nut flush.

I have had just the opposite, hopefully you won't be betting them as hard when the cards go cold.

I raise and reraise every pocket pair in limit. Almost always anyway, always an exception.

Hellmuth gave me that strategy. Good way to represent.

hah i got on a rush like this the other night, got aces 5 times, kings once, jacks at least once that i remember. some smaller pocket pairs i flopped a set with one of them, flopped a set of kings. other than the sets, every other pocket pair was broken. kinda funny when someone raises in 1st position, i put him on AJ or better, i have AA, so i dont reraise. flop comes 678, he goes all in i call, he shows 59o. silly fuckers.... and that wasnt even the worst beat that night hahah

Odds of hitting a set on the flop is 1:11, so I must say, that is quite nice. Trips will either iwn a big pot, or lose a big one as well.
