That's something that Brunson advocates. He's a big believer is rushes, and claims to play the next hand every time he wins a pot, no matter what he is dealt.

I think sometimes you can get away with a steadily deteriorating run of cards when you come off a big rush if the other players become really gun shy. I was playing a PL tourney two nights ago where I had a run of 6 pocket pairs, an AK and an AQ in the span of ten hands. All but one of my PPs hit the set on the flop, except my aces, but the aces held up anyway. Four players got badly burned in that foray and I took a tremendous chip lead. When the cards dried up, I was able to steal the blinds two hands in a row with nothing because everyone was afraid to call. Then, I had another lousy hand and there was a pot-sized raise ahead of me, so I figured my rush was done and folded off.

Doyle has made such a claim before but it was specific to no-limit. He does not play that way at limit . He also doesn't play that way at no-limit with a cap. (no-limit w/ a cap needs a definition doesn't it? Ok, Doyle plays duece to seven with a $1000 ante's and unstructured betting up to $100,000. Once the $100,000 cap is reached, betting is over for the remainder of the hand whether it is before the draw or after.)

Good point, you are absolutely right, his assertion is specific to NL play.
