A hot streak in poker is when a player goes on a sustained run of good luck and strong results, winning more pots than usual and often hitting big hands or favorable boards. While poker is a skill game, short-term outcomes can be influenced by variance, and a hot streak is a prime example of that.
During a hot streak, everything seems to click—your bluffs work, your hands hold up, and you hit your draws. It’s a great confidence booster, but smart players know not to get overconfident or careless, because luck always swings back.
Hot streaks are the opposite of downswings, and they’re a normal part of the game’s natural flow.
