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

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 :) 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 :)
Depends on your image though.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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
