Hot Streak

A hot streak is a run of good luck or winning hands. It is also called a spinner.

The simple explanation

When a player wins many pots in a row, he is on a hot streak. It might be skill, luck or both.

A closer look

Hot streaks can be random variance. It is good to enjoy them, but your decisions should be the same as always. Many players tilt when the streak ends and give back their profit. A good habit is to set a plan before the session, such as when you stop, and follow it in both good and bad runs.

A practical example

A player wins four big pots in an hour and stays calm instead of raising his stakes.
