The streak is dead. Long live the streak!

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.

This is an excerpt from my March 31, 2012 post. The streak that died last night was of MTT NLHE tournaments where I registered an official place; it ended at 17. When I hit the rail, fully 18 minutes remained in the late registration period. To add insult to injury, my holding on the last hand was a premium one - AKs (ace king suited). Ouch!
