How do you know if you are in the middle of a streak? ... Wait.
That's what johnnyzee asked ...

There you go again, Marc. The "middle" implies a prediction that it
will continue. You have no reason to believe that 2 or more wins
didn't constitute the entire winning streak. It might have just
ended. As is consistent with your statements that there's no way to
predict, which is contradicted by your use of such words and phrases
as "middle" and "in," you can only recognize streaks in retrospect.
Only after a winning streak of, say, 7 hands is over can you say how
long it was. After, say, the 5th win, you have no way of knowing that
it will continue with 2 more wins. At that point, for all you know,
it will turn out to have been a streak of 5 wins. You persistently
confuse tenses. But you're not alone. I catch myself doing it, too.
