In the way back time machine, in 2007 there was a block of about four months where I couldn't lose. It seems like all my draws came in, my hands held up, and my complexion never looked better in the mirror. Everything clicked, poker was easy, just show up and the bankroll magically climbed into thousandaire status by opening up four to six tables a night.

In the poker world, "running good" is something players try to latch on to as much as they can because streaks don't happen often. Of course there's statistical basis to running good but for the poker soul, there's nothing like a streak of cards to overcome the months (or even a year or two) of cards not falling the way the math dictates.

Enter the PokerListings Run Good Challenge for some of your favorite internet scribes (maybe next time I'll get the nod). A series of freerolls that culminated into a kick ass six person SnG that the bloggers had to qualify for.
