If I have just won some pots without showdown, this is not the time, I will pick, to run some kind of bluff. The reason is, someone might think, I am out of line, and select this exact hand to “fight back”.

My worst fault in my play is that after winning a big pot, I feel that should stop playing, because I've "used up my luck."<br /><br />When I first started playing online, I got strong hands in bunches after being card dead.
