VernonME 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Just wondering what other players do when they catch absolutely no hand? I'm in a $10 180 sng on stars and still have yet to find a pocket pair, A10+, suited connectors. The best hand i have had in the past hour was k9o. i dont feel like i could bluff on the table im sitting at due to the high chip stacks and lag players. Link to post Share on other sites
James D 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 The best hand i have had in the past hour was k9o.You haven't had an Ace in an hour?That's about 70/80 hands online. Link to post Share on other sites
SuperJon 175 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I get AA or K3s every hand so I really can't feel your pain. But if you aren't catching any good cards, then you need to start playing position. Play aggressive in LP. If nothing is working (you did say your table was LAG), then you might just want to pick a spot and hope to get all your money in good. Not really sure what else to say, cause like I said, I run goot all the time. Link to post Share on other sites

FourFlusher 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 I once went 26 hands without a card over an 8.I'm sure that's no record, but, it sucked. Link to post Share on other sites
Ukosumu 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Patience is a underrated skill in poker. Cards will come but the discipline to wait is difficult when you see guys hitting every flop and building their stacks. Link to post Share on other sites
mgirgent 0 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Went 12 hands without a card about 9 or a pp the other day, which is probally extremly rare, it came at the end of a sitngo turbo so it crippled me. Link to post Share on other sites

Jam-Fly 8 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 Patience is one of the most important skills in poker.Esp at a LAG table. I just got back from a 1/2 NL cash game. Finished +520 for the night. Made one big bluff the whole night. That was it. I just sat back, waited for the cards, and got paid.(ps I didn't feel the need to start a new brag thread, but I do deserve one little post) Link to post Share on other sites

nightaddicted 0 Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Playin tight is so boring! play that 8-3 off!Ok I was just registering on the forum to start a post about this in the hope to maybe get a reply from Daniel to help me out.I play 2-2 NL Holdem in the Casino in my hometown Everyday.. Usually I take home about 100 on average a night..I play from 20:00 untill 3:00 when the casino closes..The last 4 days ! 4 !!! I have been card dead.. I haven caught a hand.. in these 4 days I've had the following hands:1 x QQ (lost against AA)1 x KK (lost against A2)1 x KdQs (lost against 99)1 x Jd10d (lost against KQ)1 x AsKs (lost against Q6os)1 x 55 (WON!)1 x AdTd (split pot against AK 2 pair on the board)for the rest EVERYTHING was below A10+ or pp or any suited connectorWorst come to worst NONE of those hands I folded would have turned out in a winner if I had played them. Except for maybe 3 or 4 (like 7 3 os or 7 4 os which flopped trips)What the hell am I supposed to do ?I know being card dead happens to the best of players but 4 full days in a row ?I tried changing seats anything.. I'm completely desperate.. How unlucky can you be ?I am a very patient player and have gone 3 or 4 hours on a poker table without a descent hand before and managedto come out winning. However this is the longest run I ever experienced. Some other guy at my table today had pocket Aces 9 times.. an other guy who just joined the table instantly got QQ 3 t imes in a row.. This story might be hard to believe to some but it really is true..Daniel what is your longest run of bad cards ? how am I supoce to cope with this ? what can I do ? Link to post Share on other sites
