Bad run of cards

[papa_georgio]

What is the longest you have played while getting bad cards? For about two days now I've been getting little off suites, the only pocket pairs that I get a smaller than 6s (and even getting those are rare) and the only time I get pocket kings they lose to and Ax offsuit. I know this is just the way it goes, but getting blinded to death game after game just sucks. I've tried stealing some blinds, but eventually I get called. Oh well, guess I'll just live and learn. I know I'm about to get burned for posting this.

when you get runs like this do you change your style of play? or do you stay supertight and try to survive?

If you are considering changing your style, you should not play. Take a break.

If you must play, play a different game for small stakes. Sometimes I play 7-card stud for no good reason. It's more amusing if you can see your opponent's cards as he sucks out on you.
