The elevator technique

Good cards come in bunches. You have to expect to go through long stretches when you're card dead, surely. Yet you also have to expect stretches, though shorter and more widely spaced ones, where hand after hand you're dealt good cards. How should you deal with those types of stretches? I try to use what I call the elevator technique. Imagine that your goal is to get to the highest floor you can in a skyscraper, using one of the elevators. The problem with the elevators in this building is that there aren't any floor number buttons to press, and on average, the elevators go down much more frequently than they go up. The only button you can press is an emergency button, which takes you down some random number of floors below the floor you were on when the doors last closed. Whenever the elevator doors open, you only have two choices - step off, and lose any chance of going higher, or stay on, and risk ending up on a lower floor. You know that the longer the elevator keeps going up, the more likely it is to go down soon, and precipitously. You're basically playing a game of chicken. How brave are you? You can't help but find out :-)
