Based on the thread title I had a really awesome reply of "Well, at least you have something in common with the entire STT forum!" prepared but your graph ruined my chance.

you're prolly still a losing player. My advice is enjoy the run hot, dont let it swell your head, and dont move up and donk it away.

do you have a tilt problem??? if so maybe you ran well enough not to tilt but tilting for even 20 minutes multi-tabling can be devastating. post the ev graph but yea this is a really small sample.

I see you are averaging $25.70/100 over 7,931 hands. And you say you never used to beat nl50. So this must be at nl 50. Well $25.70 is 51.4 big blinds or 25.7 ptbb. You have a win rate of 25.7 ptbb (/100) over about 8,000 hands. I think you may need to move to $5/$10 at least.

If this doesnt last and you go back to losing you can still talk about the good ol' days when you used to rob the fish at nl50

GL to you OP

Small sample size, but I'd say 3betting more pf agrees with you. 2nd graph shows you are actually running a little under expectation in allin pots and first graph only has you slightly above expectation. I second not moving up too fast though, and that goes double if you multi-table unless you have no problem moving back down quickly if you start losing.
