The streak is dead. Long live the streak!

I first used this blog post title on March 31st, 2012. Here's an excerpt of what I wrote then:

When I first heard the phase "The king is dead. Long live the king!" it made no sense to me. How can the king live a single day, let alone a long time, when he's dead? Of course, the answer is that the phrase refers to two different kings. So you'll understand that when I say "The streak is dead. Long live the streak!" I'm referring to two different streaks. I'm hoping to start a new winning streak tonight.

On Wednesday night, my streak of 11 straight winning sessions came to an end. It started during my "These are the good old days" run, when I amassed over $2,000,000 in just 10 sessions. What makes this streak notable is that I played sit and gos exclusively while it lasted. It's much easier to win a cash game session than a sit and go one. My longest prior sit and go winning streak was a mere 5 sessions.
