Lifes Cyclical Patterns

I've been play OLP for real $ for a little over a year now, I'm now where near quitting my day job yet but I have managed to grind out some small but steady profits at the tables so far. But here is where I'm stuck: I also like the sportsbooks, in fact over half of my $ won has been through the sportsbooks, I am starting to notice a sort of "Good Luck" cyclical pattern where it seems to me that for a period of time I am hot with sports picks then get cold for a few days or weeks and the same pattern at the tables playing NL Hold em.
Just curious what everyone else has experienced playing OLP, do you see a similar pattern with your play? (Hot & Cold cycles)?

Even "Life" has patterns, sometimes all is good,,,then not so good,,,hence the saying, life has its up's and down's. the only thing that's constant is change...

Absolutely. I couldn't have said it better myelf. It keeps me from TILTING and a lot easier to swallow when I know its just part of the ups and downs of poker/ life.

yea this seems to be the way it works!! I noticed this too!!

There was a period when this kind of cycle almost made me buy into the whole online conspiracy theory - that the site was letting me win a bit before taking it all away again. Then I took note when I was in a low period and switched to playing FRs and micros only for a while. I weathered it and went into another up cycle ....so yeah I guess it's just like that!

That is definately the way it seems to go with online poker...
