Had a streak of bad cards over maybe 3-4 sng:s. Then it suddenly changed in the middle of the next one.
Had pocket AA which turned into AAAA, of course winning that hand.
The following hand I had AT which turned into the nut straight, winning that hand as well.
The holecards in the following hand QQ, did loose that hand though to pocket AA.
Then some usual hands until 3 persons left.
I take out one of them with another pocket AA, the other I call an 2000 all-in with 83 just for the hell of it and hit a full house on the flop.
Now I'm worried, will I ever get lucky again after this, don't think I deserve it.  |

NO YOU DON'T! 
Just remember there is no wheel of fortune. The odds DON'T catch up to you. Past fortunate or unfortunate draws have no bearing on the next hand. Don't change your play just because you feel lucky/unlucky. |

Amen. If you let feeling lucky factor into your poker play you might as well just play slots and believe that some machines are "hot". |

i was just trying to be funny and tell a story about extreme luck. 
however, i did get punished tonight in a live game.
first lost half my chips to a guy with 93s while i was holding top two pair and he hit his flush on the river doing awful calls. used the Odds Calculator on the cardplayer site and it said i had 80% chance of winning on the turn.
then got pocket queens and won 75 on those, yiiha!
then lost my last chips on my pocket JJ against AK beeing 70% favorite on the flop but no more chips to push with.
well, thats poker.

I had a night at a friends house where every 6 I held turned into gold.
I noticed that after I folded my 64o, I would have had quad 6s. Next hand I folded A6 which would have became 6s full. Just for the fun of it, I played the next 6 I was delt (I think it was 86o) and I flopped an 8 high straight. Then another 6 became trips.
After that game, did I ever play a 6 with the same enthusiasm? Nope. |

There is no law of averages. However, it's sometimes too easy to forget that when you're in the middle of a big rush or a nasty downswing.
Try and not tempt luck so much but to play good, solid poker  |
