Well we shouldn't go without doors that without cards it is almost impossible to play, usually when that happens it is a sign of the famous bad luck, but I have a strategy when it happens to me. I usually start to Realize that the cards have run away from me. I simply restrict the played hands to the maximum and limit myself to playing impositions with monsters monsters, super aggressively. But in reality what we have to keep in mind is simply to play our best game regardless of what cards we are holding. This is my point of view, a hug to everyone is with God.
That's okay, I keep folding, if I go under 10BB choose some suited connectors for steal or get a bit luck and double up.
Much more annoying, when the cards are coming - example yesterday, FT, 4 players left, everybody is between 15-20BB, I got AA vs AJo, preflop allin, and I am out - and I lose the 80-85% vs 15-20% preflop allins, don't talk about the river 1-3 outs fall in series... I started to play today 3-4 hours ago, and I had 3 river set against me, got beaten by smaller pairs in hands against my high pairs, lost A higher kickers against A smaller ones, also lost sets, 2 pairs on flop against backdoor flush, straights.... I see already, today is going to be a huge minus, lucky, if I can reach few ITM, do not mention FTs.... What then???

Fold.
You know that.
I know that.
(Doesn't mean we all do that all the time...but we know we should).
Being card dead will happen. It's just part of the game. Waiting it out is also part of the game. And then a card streak will come along and pick you up again.
But when you fall for the temptation to "take a punt" or "just see a flop" or "just play one out of boredom, you are splashing away your hard fought chips.
That said, if you are paying attention to the game at hand, there will still be planty of opportunities during the lull to exploit an opponent.
You do not need cards to make a play at the right time, attacking the particular person. It is not without risk, but blind stealing from overly tight players to your left is one such opportunity.
But otherwise, just grab a pile of (physical) chips and click-clack away, giving your hands something to do whilst you wait for the next hand.
I break this rule far too often...so this post is as much as a reinforcement to me as well as to you, but, just bloody fold. Recently, I took a peak when I shouldn't have, and got suckered all the way to the river. Left me without a significant chunk of my chips.
The next hand, AKs hit the nut flush on the flop. Got paid, but less than I lost the previous hand as I hadn't had much left.
Poker rewards patience. If you are not patient, this is not the game for you (but I'll welcome you to my table anyway).
Cheers,

It just happens, sometimes you can go on a long run of rubbish but the trick is to be patient so that you still have chips when you do hit something , still play your position and take some blinds here and there but just have patience and the cards will come back to you eventually 😀

THis is where bankroll Management comes in lets say your Bankroll is $110 thats 100 $1.10 Tourney entries on Pokerstars if you can win just 1 out of 100 tournies you are building your bankroll. Take the Bigger $1.10 if you played that today 1st $607.05 2nd $301.64 3rd $212.79 4th $150.11 5th $105.90. Generally I reach the final table 2 times out of 100 in these then get into the Bubble another 8 or so times. The thing is if you play $1.10 and $2.20 games if you do well in your $1.10 games and dont do so well in your $2.20 then your bankroll isnt doing so well. So stick toone level once your bankroll has increased so 100 x $2.20 = $220 then move up and stick to the $2.20 level. Some people say have 200 buyins but if your a decent player then 100 is more than enough. The aim is to make the game profitable for yourself if you have discipline before long you will be playing games where you make enough money to live on. In theory thats how it should work lol.
I think it depends on your playing style. If you are a more aggressive player you should still be patient when you see that you are gettin snapped f.e. . Besides that I think that the good cards will come if the games not rigged. I wish you all the best and a lot of luck mate!
