To me, I just continue to play my game and stay in the moment, and not dwell on not getting good cards. It happens to everyone, it's all about how you handle that adversity, just like how you would handle a good rush of cards - try to continue to make good decisions.
go nuts, tilt and burn your bankroll....
That what usually happens, meantime, would be great to stand up after few hours of insanity, and close the day with small loss.
Sometimes, it works, but if I am in a series like nowadays, 1 day/week without the 50% beats on river by 1-10 cards, hard to stand up after 1-2, max 4 hours play, 6 times a week....
That is why I do not like online poker, it happens in live too, but not so insane way, series, does not repeat it sometimes for months, rarely for a week in live.
That is a very bad sign, when you are afraid to play with monsters, afraid to call an all in against one opponent with the nuts on the flop.... especially, that 50% or more, my 'afraid' get the proof... the best one from yesterday, JJ hand, J62 flop, allin and I am out against 57o cards..... I need to buy a box bag, hitting something else instead of the table and the couch....

I think I've encountered this scenario a few times during my poker career. I try to be patient, but sometimes that doesn't cut it because you'll just end up losing. It's good to watch your position in the hand and try to bluff when you can to try to steal the pot. For example, if your opponent keeps checking, their hand may be weak. Just test out the players and go with your gut!
My Favourite time of the game is when you start getting near the bubble the players tighten up a very lot and you can jst bet a little and they fold. If they call then you bet a little again and normally by the turn they fold if they call again you check on the river. Tournaments are really good you need to squeeze other players if you have taken note of how they play and you are right you will find positions to squeeze and increase your chip stack.
Yesterday it was with me, I played cash nl hold'em, good cards did not come for 5 hours, and if they did, there were no matches, bluffs did not pass ((, in the end, my patience broke, I lost 3 buy-ins, closed the poker room, and I calmed down)), there are no words........
The strategy largely depends on the speed of the tournament, but still waiting for only good hands is a bad idea. I think it is necessary from time to time to play a potentially strong hand, for example K2 suited not seem a very good hand but if the flop falls and map suited you will be a monster draw and if the enemy raised with AK in the future it will pay you well if you bundle monster on the next street. In my opinion, this is the point of playing poker to use different strategies and approaches to the game, otherwise everything would be quite simple.MMaki1981 said:
Of course, you don't have to watch every flop, but you don't have to wait for good hands either. Read the different strategies of the game in tournaments this will help you to understand more how to act in a particular situation at the table. Of course, this will not guarantee you a win in the tournament, but more experience will give you more chances. Good luck.PatriceM915 said:
Hello, I think that the first thing you should check are the ranges to play depending on the position, and if it is in tournaments also check the hands that we can play profitably for the amount of blinds, there are no good cards and bad cards, if you are clear about the ranges you will see that your game will change completely. If you play just to wait for the premium hands you will lose and they will take advantage of you at the tables.
