Re: Do you make moves when you\'re card dead?
I am going to disagree with cferejohn a bit here. There is a GOOD thing about being card-dead, assuming you are playing a high buyin tourney, such as a super. That is that you have a tight image. This means that people are going to respect your raises, at least the first couple of times you do it. So pick somebody who tries to steal the blinds whenever possible, and resteal on them... with nothing.
The good thing about this is that if you don't do this, the first time you get a real hand, you won't get any action on it. But suppose you resteal somebody now, and then the next time he steals, you have a REAL hand... he remembers laying down his hand earlier, and he might call in spite. You want your big hands to pay off, so you need to keep up some level of aggressiveness no matter how bad you are running.
