Surviving the doldrums?

Hey all,

I'd like to hear your stratergies on surving bad cards over a long period of time. I primarily am talking about MTTs.

I've heard that winning strategies don't neccesarily rely on good cards, so how do you all bide your time, handle your stack, while you wait 2-3-4 hours of a dirty dealer giving you junk?

Representing to the table that you are a strong player only works until you are moved so I've quit tryting to bother thinking about it i.e. establishing an image at the table.

I tend to gradually decide to play crappy cards and end up out of the money.... that certainly isn't the right strategy.

Thanks in advance for your input!

when im going through a bad run of cards i always like to stick in the ipod to keep me from tilting. i feel it makes me focus more. Also, id advise to play position more aggresivelly. you might not have the best hand but with a tight image and position on your opponent your probably the favourite to win the hand if they have marginal holdings. that is all!!!!
