As an online player who has been going at it for 4 years or so, I've become increasingly aware of how I'm "running" at any given time.
I don't play as often as I used to in the past, maybe this is a reason why I've developed an awareness of how "good" or "bad" I run for any extended length of time.
Chatting with some other poker people the other day about this subject, got me thinking about the difference in perception different people have about "running good"
One example of My understanding of it, entails catching good cards at the right times during tournaments. Meaning catching AA, KK, etc.. on the button or the blinds while I watch the mad raising and re-raising before it gets to me! INSTEAD of catching the same hands UTG or in EP where you may not get so much action after you raise.
Another example would be having your hands stand up time and time again, your JJ all ins dodging those nasty rivers when all your opponent needs is an ace. Or flopping a set of ducks in EP and checking it to your aggressive opponents big action JJ, QQ, AK.
I'm sure there are many more interpretations or "running good".....I'd like to hear some more...
