| Go play through the streak at a multiple table site, FT, PS, Party on play tables. Dont waste your money going through the streak losing. Personally I think I have got less than average cards for the last year, which at some point MIGHT SUGGEST I get better than average cards for a year. When I am not happy with the way the cards seem to be coming, I first have to convince myself whether it is the cards being dead to me, or is it the way I am playing them. Blasting thru the play money donkaments has tended to prove it one way or another. Only this week have I seen a change. Either I have incorporated a ton of info, mostly from here, or the cards have changed. Still a bit too early to tell, but I did have my first streak of 'happyness playing poker' for 3 straight days ever. But then, what do I know, I only got this expert member thingy cause the computer gliched..... |

| re: Card dead awareness poker depends on coicumstance... if it's early, or you've established an image and you have at least an average stack you can play your position instead of your cards... but that only works until it doesn't. then you sit tight and play all-in/fold before you blind out. |

And another thing that's helped me a bit is to sometimes think in terms of protecting my hand. If I get AK or JJ I raise because I've got to protect my hand from someone who has limped or is thinking of limping with T8s. And when I continuation bet when I've missed the flop (another tough one), sometimes I tell myself act as if I have QQ or KK. Conversely if I have AA or KK sometimes I'll tell myself I have AK and bet accordingly. I've got a long ways to go, but those things have helped me. And to kenny, I usually take a break, or tighten up if it's a shorter term thing. |

| Advice for Bad Cards My best advice is that what I do is take some time off do some other stuff not poker related and then come back, in a day or two. I have never taken more than 3 days off from anything poker, that mean I at least read a poker magazine of some sort or watched a poker program on TV. When i say take off from Poker, I mean take out no conversation or nothing if you can help that part. It's hjard when you are in a relaxed mood not to talk about poker. |

I lose with good cards and shaky flops. However, if I have such a feeling - I try to sit on lower table. (And I finish up, if I play better than my opponents) |

| re: Card dead awareness poker I'm finding that I'm doing better in SST's lately when I get nothing but crap hands. I build up a super-tight image in the first 3 or 4 rounds. It's not deliberate, I'm just not getting anything worth playing. I just make 2 or 3 steals when first-in preflop in that period. You'd be surprised how many people at the table are paying attention. Your steals and raises get huge respect, even by the looser players. I've found that as the blinds are getting big, if you just play the occasional hand really aggressively, from decent position and against the bigger stacks, you can build up a lot of chips. My only experience is in $5 and $10 SST's, so I don't know if it would work at higher buyins. I don't know how well it would work in ring games either as the key is the rising blinds. If you pick your spots well you can get into the money without ever having to show down a hand. |
