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,
