When you guys (and ladies) are playing at a table and can't catch any really good hands, how long do you stay at that table?

I usually go a couple of rounds around the table, if I don't get any better hands I switch..

u dont need to fold all your "bad" hands... always have big and small blinds and few places near dealer on which u can see the flop on little costs and risk of beeing betted before cards will be showed. sometimes i staying in the game bout 30 minutes before i win something

The longer I stay at a cold table, the more inclined I am to remain there. Remember the first rule of poker probabilities...over a long enough period of time, everyone catches the same number of good cards. I'm always reluctant to change tables following an extended cold streak because I know that a rush could be right around the corner. If I change tables, I may change right into another cold streak and extend the drought even further.

Ignorant players blindly bouncing chips off the walls will make me leave a table a lot more quickly than cold cards.

Changing tables isn't going to increase your chance of getting good cards.

The statistical probablity of getting a certain hand is the same at every table.
