I found myself card dead for about 500+ cards, as this didn't change before I quit for the day.

Anytime that I got a decent preflop hand and raised, an opponent (not the same one each hand) shoved all-in.
If I was the BB I could cold call and see a flop. If I flopped a pair and bet, my OP reraise all-in.

This continued the entire session. All bets were reraised all-in. I was never dealt a pair larger than 8, no suited aces, no aces larger than 7, and no K's stronger than 9. Best flop I saw was (KQ)- flop K Q 10. He had AJ, I believe as I laid it down after he came over top my large reraise.

So the question is what do you do at a table with no cards, when every raise you put in becomes a decision for all your chips?

This was a 5NL deepstack table

Go outside and enjoy the fresh air!

Honestly, you can't really do much there, and that sounds like their strategy. It's pretty lame when you're card dead and you have no choice but to only play the nuts. By your frustration I believe you know this very well.

Have you got the PT3 hud running yet? There's a BIG difference between someone who is 12/7 shoving preflop and a 43/37. The latter you might have enough equity against with your strong Aces and higher pocket pairs to make a call, depending on stack sizes.

I have the HUD up and running. I gave alot of respect to the big reraise to my raise with KQ because his numbers were so low for a good session of hands. It wasn't the same person shoving on me, just that someone did everytime that I bet. Next time I will go outside and take a break.

It was funny cause I was working on fergussons challenge of preflop play. You have to raise different amounts based on your cards. I couldn't get any of it completed because I never got any of the good cards required.

Different amounts based on your cards, what the hell? Maybe that's cool at the mini microstakes, but at higher stakes people catch on. Only reasons I really change my bet sizes is position and range manipulation

I should rephrase. Having a strong hand, you bet different amounts based on position. But you must have one of the strong hands.

Oh, okay, that's cool then

Call and beat him ONE single time out of pure luck with a hand that might be not as bad as you think it could be compared to the other guy's hand. It seems like a nice investment to me. If you win him on that hand then youre going to own him for the rest of the game.

Oh!!! have been through this many times and especially when you dont have the day running good for ya even the best hand or the stongest looking hand can take all away from you in one shot...

just relax take a break and start over in a new session of play, this should defenetely help you
well has always helped me

If you are 3 bet all in constantly you cannot do much except tighten up and prepair to call with the hands you actually raise with (assuming the reraise is all inn). Your stack is obviously the most important consideration, with 12 to 22 bb (the optimal reshove stack) wait for a hand and then call bullys push. Here you find which hands are optimal vs various ranges
