Re: Cold decks
Play another tourney or a ring game at the same time (although this invites the danger of seeing twice as many crap hands). It's a distraction from clicking fold and waiting for new cards, though.
Study everyone else at the table. Get to know them, and the proper time to raise with that 84o may reveal itself. (And, if the deck's running so cold that you're not playing any hands, everyone but the most clueless will give you a wide berth when you suddenly play a hand...actual cards probably won't be necessary.)
But sometimes you get those tables where you're certain any move you make is going to be called and you have to just hope a hand turns up.
