Getting non playable hands in non playable situations over an extended amount of time.
It means to me to be patient while waiting for the spot to get back in, and to utilize this time to further our understanding of our opponents and how they are playing right now.

Being "card dead" in poker means getting bad hands for a long time, making it hard to play. You keep folding while others win pots. It feels frustrating, but good players adjust by stealing blinds, bluffing, and using position wisely instead of just waiting for strong hands to play.

To me being card dead is not always about not getting premium hands over a range of time. Sometimes card dead is when your cards are just not suitable for your opponent(s) and positions. I see it all the time, players can be committed to playing terrible hands; so our cards just need to counter their playing style. Even if we only have mediocre cards. Take for example 3 players left and a JTo can be payable depending on the situation. Can't really say your card dead when the situation provides the necessary range to play.

You can only be truly card dead if you are a patient player...chasers are never card dead. If you are patient and see your starting stack reduced by 25% or more before you can even play a hand, you are officially card dead.

It is very boring . I realized it very much lately . I find myself playing for an hour with no good hand or only one good hand . That's extremely boring for sure .

This is also how I feel. At that point I can only wish a big stack doubles me up. It's cheap for them and when you looked like a nitty fish for the last hour they don't care lol.

In cards, a "dead hand" is a situation where a player continues to deal with a losing hand, but does not even know it.Another common poker play is to "draw dead." A classic example: the first player has suited AK, the second has 88, and the board is 8-7-2-2 with a flush draw. Both players have strong hands, but the first player draws dead. Even after the flush is closed on the river, he will still lose — since his opponent has already made a full house.
