Do you believe in continuous good luck or bad luck runs in poker?

I believe in hot and cold runs, but I don’t think luck stays permanently on one side. 😅
Over a large sample, variance tends to balance out, so I try not to chase a “lucky streak.”

I do think you can go through some crazy hot or cold runs in poker, but I don't think luck actually has a memory. You can win several sessions in a row and then suddenly lose a few, even if you're playing the same way. For me, the important thing is not letting a winning streak make me overconfident or a losing streak make me chase losses. Variance can be brutal in the short term but poker is mathematics so in longer run luck doesnt exist because real world value has to converge with expected value
