I think you are talking about tournaments so you will probably get a better answer here.

youre gonna want to shove pocket pairs 22 33 44 55 66 77...etc also shobe ace high hand A2 A4 5etc shove marginal/good hands 10Ks POssibly even 9k depending on how big the blinds are in relstion to your stack size

#11 January 30th, 2016, 8:50 AM

Use a push/fold chart. If you have to wait 50 hands before you get something shoveable, then wait 50 hands. Don't be impatient and start shoving lightly. Stick to the chart.

Add 4bet bluffs into your range.. learn about blockers How to act when you dont have good cards and blind literally eats you???

no ones ever card dead you just need to add more arsenal to your game.
Learn the players around you, find the weak tight players and exploit them. Good players opening in late position are good candidates to 3bet wide on How to act when you dont have good cards and blind literally eats you???

Depends on your image though.

#13 February 9th, 2016, 12:44 PM

How? You compensate by stealing the blinds when un position or 3bet light against loose openers at CO, Button and Big Blinds to steal their 2 bet. Of course you need to steal with a balance range with strong and weak hands.

Another way is win postflop either with showdown value or bluff.

Me If I lose half of my chips due to blinds and not getting good cards. Soon has I get suited connectors I start to push if I don't go in. And I keep betting or go all in if you hit the board.

#15 February 9th, 2016, 8:39 PM

Be patient. Try to bet more when you feel good hands, and be more daring!

#16 February 9th, 2016, 8:55 PM

you have to shove any pair and any A with high kicker

#17 February 9th, 2016, 8:58 PM

Maybe youre too tight. Have to widen your range a little bit.

Try/look for a spot where you have to share on the pot at some point just to survive.

#18 February 9th, 2016, 9:02 PM

play passive intil good cards and allin

#19 February 9th, 2016, 11:27 PM

We've all been there sitting in the dead man's chair. It's better to be patient than play no hope hands, where you will lose more than your blinds. Learn about Money Management and set yourself a loss limit. If you haven't had a hand when you reach your loss limit - QUIT

#20 February 10th, 2016, 10:06 PM

You might try making some shoves earlier on, based purely on position, when you still have enough BB to force a fold.. If you fold every garbage hand until you only have 3BB or so, you guarantee you get a call when you do inevitably have to shove.

#21 February 13th, 2016, 2:49 PM

Usually better to take a chance with a bad hand than get enveloped in blinds.

#22 September 26th, 2016, 6:58 PM

patience, you must have

#23 September 26th, 2016, 7:29 PM

It depends whether you're talking about tournaments or cash games.

In cash games, be patient and keep topping up your stack.

In tournaments, pick your spots to steal and resteal.

#24 September 26th, 2016, 7:48 PM

I'm still trying to get a good map and push in Allyn. There is still less than 5BB already and the average card comes into play.

#25 September 26th, 2016, 7:57 PM

I think you just need to play by feel at that point. It sounds crazy, but that's what I do in this situations. hahaha

#26 September 26th, 2016, 8:02 PM

You should be patient and keep playing. Do you actually have any other choice? How to act when you dont have good cards and blind literally eats you???

#27 September 26th, 2016, 11:48 PM

couple of things i would look at,you might be playing to tight long befor yer stack gets low-sometimes the cards just dont come,and you have to play position more,and betting more on hands that do come-toward the end of mtt it becomes a push or fold game when your short stacked -any pair or any 2 cards above j-q

#28 September 27th, 2016, 12:01 AM

Use fold/push charts. You can find a lot of them if you search it on google.
Stick to the chart and you are going to be ok in the long term.

#29 September 27th, 2016, 8:18 AM

Patience and try to resteal from sb or bb if bu raise

#30 September 27th, 2016, 2:58 PM

When you have an average hand, you have to go friend. Choose the best hand and go. But the blind eat your chips.
It does not have much to do....

#31 September 27th, 2016, 3:44 PM

I was very card dead yesterday in one of my regular MTTs. All I could do was fold and fold some more. But I kept watching for places to shove with the best hands I had seen for 30 minutes, and I could take the pot because most of the other players had seen I was folding every hand and when I went all in, they assume I have a great hand and they fold most of the time. Also, if there were no calls or raises around to me, I would try to steal the blinds. This works about 80% of the time. Anyway, you have to take a stand at one place or another. I would rather go out fighting than letting the blinds take me out. Another thing you could try. If you are the SB or BB and the button tries to steal the blinds, fire all in back at him. I used all of this yesterday, and with the help from a big stack taking out 3 other big stack at once at the FT, I made it to 5th. You never know what's going to happen in this love/hate game. Just keep holding on and believing you will catch some good hands along with everything else you try. GL to you. One more thing want to say. Do Not Tilt or Panic. Just relax and keep thinking what you will do when it's your turn to play.

#32 September 27th, 2016, 4:27 PM

just always be looking for more hands to play....can you steal from the villan, is the villan fit fold on the flop, does the villan fold to double barrels, can you make an unexploitable shove, etc. etc

#33 September 27th, 2016, 7:07 PM

Wait for good cards and if you hit the flop then try to collect mush as You can.
Bluffing may hit you back.

#34 September 27th, 2016, 11:24 PM

i play by instincts sometimes i let blind down cause know am not hitting others im pushing at right times often without calls. I dont always have right hand to play and bet all in but have read of table etc.. and take advantage if possible.

One rule is never fear losing and with that id rather go out with queen 3 at times over being blinded out. but you must also be aware of the bubble etc.. money situation etc.. is why sometimes choose to blind down. Just to get to certain pay level

#35 September 28th, 2016, 7:16 AM

would say
in tournament it is really not important how many big blinds you have.

the most important thing is , other player knocked out earlier than you.
with 1 chips you can still win 2nd or 1st.

so my answer try your best to survive in a tournament.and try your best to make others potentially being knocked out earlier than you on purpose.

so any legal methods are allowed, including, slow roll, clocking, shut down router on purpose to manually delay, and steal blinds, etc etc.
try to think this, at 10BB blinds 100/200, average stack 2000, you have 1000, you are in bad situation, but if you clocking purposely to blinds 250/500, average stack is 2000, humm would say you are not in bad shape, some 1500, 2000 even 5000 chips player would be a little worry.

I would suggest learning M Theory... it gives you a plus minus number that tells you where you are in regards to the blinds vs your stack and a range of hands you should be looking at playing..

#39 October 1st, 2016, 5:18 PM

poker - it's a game. no one can win all the hands

#40 October 1st, 2016, 10:33 PM

If you start with 5000 chips, blind to 2500, double up, your back at 5000. What is the problem?

Usually when a tournament starts, you can win a small pot or lose a big one. I often prefer to join late so I don't have to lose chips through blinds like 10/20, 40/60, ect...

If everyone has 5k and the blinds are 25/50 and your raise with AA to 300, your still very likely to get 3 to 4 calls. Just a small % of people stacks. You go all in preflop, and you don't get called, you only win 75.

#41 October 1st, 2016, 11:20 PM

If you're going card dead and not getting any really good cards, you need to start opening up your range since your image is probably very tight now.

Can't wait for AA every time How to act when you dont have good cards and blind literally eats you???

#42 October 2nd, 2016, 2:05 AM

if u feel that you opponent have the best game u have to fold, but if you belive that your game is better just go all in for no risk!
