Waiting for action...

ChuckyB · #1 10-03-2005, 06:16 PM

Sat through a session of 6-max, and hit my longest run of bad cards ever (though this will probably pale compared to others.)

In a 35-minute, 44-hand span I was able to play just 1 hand outside the blinds and I folded that one on the flop.

During it all I tried to remind myself that the cards will come back around, and I shouldn't try to make something happen with sub-par cards.

What do you do/say to yourself to get through these "slumps"?

Listen to music and be happy I'm not losing a lot of money, maybe make one or two loose raises just to make sure that when I do get a playable hand that I want action with, that they all aren't fearful of me and turbomuck (some of you may like this though).

Take Ritalin. Alternatively, play more than 1 table.

Yeah. Multitabling makes this type of thing a live play phenomenon.

Yeah...I'm working up to multi-tabling. Still some work to go.
