No.

Even if your are supertight (play 10% of your hands) and the game is superslow (200 hands in 12 hourse), the odds are 1.4 billion to 1 against getting no starting hands.

Even if that happened, you'd find yourself in the big blind with no raises a few times.

Even if you didn't get a hand either of those ways, after folding every hand for an hour, you should have no trouble stealing a few blinds.

aaron, good stuff!!

i like your last point, and would expand it. if the game is tight, then you can steal some blinds. if the game is quite loose, then you can play more suited cards in position. so you can basically play a few non-blinds hands in most conditions.

as i said, i still have my wilson software where i can do huge # of hands. and it's pretty common to fold 20 non-blinds hands in a row. much more than that is a big anamoly.

and before any pounces on me, i find wilson software alot tougher (with good profiles) than any game i've actually played B&M or internet.
