These are the good old days

The second time I used this title for a post, it was January 22, 2014. Here's an excerpt of what I wrote then:

The first time I used this title for a post, it was June 1, 2011. Here's an excerpt of what I wrote then:

The title of this post comes from Carly Simon's classic song "Anticipation". It's how I feel about how I'm playing poker right now. I have a hunch (and you know how us poker players love our hunches :-) that I'm playing the best I'll ever play.

Judging purely based on session deltas, this hunch was wrong. I'm on a cash game hot streak right now which rivals any I've had before; I've won 13 of the last fourteen sessions.


My implicit second hunch was wrong as well. Based on the evidence, I've never played better than I'm playing right now. In the last nine sessions, I've increased my balance by a whopping 1,768,000 play dollars. That's my career best nine session series; the second best, which ended on August 24th, 2012, netted me 1,524,650 play dollars.

I have a very realistic chance of getting my 2015 balance back into the black this very night. I mean to do it.
