Low cards

[Atodaso204]

When you guys are card dead, how do you play your low cards? Do you disguise them as high cards and cash in on the rag flop? Or lay down and for your face cards?

I stay out of trouble. I try to get in cheap, so I like when I am big blind,then I don't mind being dealt low cards. And I hit the flop.

Only when the table allows me.In any other scenario when i'm surrounded with dozen loose players i try to go with a bang or to double my small stack.

I have 2 low cards, and there are often a board and the case over which I win an overwhelming victory only with a low card.

depends on the board texture, on the tournament or cash situation, on players around you and your position... you have to be more specific

Usually I will just keep folding (face-down) and try to stay patient. As always, I might still try to bluff at situational spots here and there (since cards may not matter if I don't plan on getting to showdown anyway), but typically folding is best. Everyone gets card dead some times; what you want to avoid is tilting or blowing off your stack on some forced bluffs. When card dead, the goal is to survive and wait for the better cards again. Being card dead can be annoying at certain spots, but that is a part of the game and it happens to everyone sooner or later.
