"The Cards Owe Me" vs. The Long Run...

[Shark]

John now thinks to himself, "Boy, the cards REALLY owe me in the future!"...

I prefer owing the cards some...

most really successful gamblers tend to have had good luck in the beginning and then never look back.

I agree. The ones that are encountering very negative swings are likely to quit before they have an opportunity to recover. This is especially true about those that are unknowingly overbetting and busting their bankrolls.

Owe Me? I'm Due? These words are those of a gambler not a AP.
Your neither owed or due for a win or a lose. If you believe this you may as well play a Martingale system.
Streaks come and go for no other reason than the Variance of the Math.
You can win 6 hands in a row and there is no guarantee you won't lose the next 15 or more in a row.
Manage your BR and betting with Kelly their is NO better system.
