Wondering what everyone else considers running bad.
Does running bad mean - not getting any good cards to play - so folding a lot and not able to get in the hand and mix it up, chip up?
One can cluck about being able to play well without getting good cards - however - at my buyin (micro) that won't get even the best player very far into any event with the stations and shovedonk fish around.
ACE = shove!!
Or is running bad equal to getting playable cards, even very good starting hands - that turn into total dog crap by the river?
Incorrectly ranging opponents, betting non-optimal amounts - that either could have gotten your more chips, or forced a fold in a certain situation, betting when you are beat, check-raising into the nuts. All of it.
I tend to think running bad = all of the above, but card dead is totally outside of our control. So is the runout of the community cards, but how we play the hand is within our control.
Just wondering what others opinions and definition of run-bad is.
