Default card dead strategy

We all go through runs of really crappy cards or when we do get a hand it completely misses. What is your strategy in these situations?

That is an awesome question.

There is really nothing you can do besides attempting to minimize your losses. Don't let yourself get down. Don't feel bad for yourself. Grind it out, get through it. Continue to play position, play smart, and play premium hands. Don't allow your range to open up just because you haven't dragged a pot in a while.

Another option is always changing tables, seats, or just not playing for the day at all. It doesn't hurt to take a day off here or there.

Head over to the roulette wheel and play black or red for a while. If you get ahead, go back to the table. If you get behind, go home.

Keep opening up an extra table every 5 minutes until they get better.

I agree with Wallace here. I find i can only play tight aggressive, ive tried LAG but always end up getting tied up and losing. So for me its a case of take a little time out.
