Default Who Watches The Trend And Plays On It?

Call me crazy but I will watch what cards are coming out all the time and when I get some I will tend to be more agressive with them.

Like last week for 3 nights in a row K 10 was in my opinion the hottest hand to have. I won three times in one night with it, the last a hefty all in against two others. I got two pair, a straight and a full house with it.

Is this silly or does anyone else watch what cards come out and hit in particular games and tend to play them more aggressively?

Last night I noticed that Queens and Tens were coming out a lot and often together.

I made a bold move when I got Q 10 suited.

I figured that I had a good chance of a flush, a straight or even pairing up.

I was last to act and when the only people left in the hand hand only called I bet heavily.

Everyone folded except one guy who was slow playing big slick.

He went all in which is what I had raised.

No Aces or Kings came out and I got 2 pair.

Its all well and good saying watch all the cards but all pokersites use random generators and its abit risky playing the way you do. But i suppose at the end of the day everyone has there own ways of playing and if it works for u then carry on and hope it continues.

You can get short term popularity in any random situations, I don't care if it's flipping coins, roulette wheels, hand shuffled cards or automatic shufflers...the same is true for random generators, but you will get no more or no less. Knowledgeable gamblers pay no attention to these patterns, because it still turns out to guessing on a particular situation and odds are the same odds on the next event regardless of past results.

If you believe in playing this way then you should play baccarat, because it is somewhat common to have over 20 banks or players in a streak, or heavy popularity on a short term basis and in baccarat ties are a push.
