card dead in live poker
you're playing poker at a casino and you're sitting there with nothing to do but fold and watch as others drag pot after pot.
what do you do to avoid the boredom and inevitable tilt (like playing QJo in mid position or something like that) |

I make chit chat; once I brought a book.
Or just get up and make a play once in while in the middle of a dry card run. Raise on the button with 79s and raise any flop bet [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] |

Try to spot tells.
Look for better games. Check out the babes. Stare at them if you are wearing your WSOP glasses. |

Re: card dead in live poker
i definitely suggest making friends at the table. if you sit there and fold every hand the bad players will decide that they hate you for not playing "fair". if you sit there and play no hands and brood they will definitely hate you for "ruining the game" by playing tight and just being generally no fun. if you chat, make jokes, etc then they will not resent you so much for playing tight. they may even think you are a friendly, no talent, scared money player and try to bluff you off your pocket aces, etc.

Pay attention and figure out who the folders are at the table, and act accordingly. You don't really need cards to beat folders. Or use your lucky urinal.

Take a break for a couple of orbits and grab some food. Get your brain working again. Or you can call my cell and see who's NOT played a hand the longest.

Re: card dead in live poker
I talk to the people at my table, watch the action. In big pots I work on keeping up with how many bets are in the pot, because sometimes when it gets big I lose track. And if I'm REALLY bored, I start building things with my chips.
