Default PLaying when you're card dead

I was in a 20 personn tourney (home game) yesterday, started with only 800 in chips, blinds starting at 5/10 and increasing every hour. Anyway, the entire night, 3 plus hours, I got NO cards. The only pots I won were steals or in an unraised pot in the small or big blind. I had pocket jacks once, and kings near the end, but barely got paid. I ended going allin shortstacked with J9s, and was called by KJ.

How do you guys handle this? I didn't really go on tilt, but I did get a little frustrated, especially when i got caught stealing. What can I do?

stop playing at that game because you're being cheated! honestly though, I usually just sit tight, let myself become short stacked if thats what it comes to, and then just push with any pp i find, and hope its a race i win, if not, head home and get better luck the next time!

unfortunately you need to rely on the fact that you dont need cards to win at NL... raise unopened pots in late position... be aggressive at pots, but pull back at any sign of strength

Aviator said it..

Dont be affraid to risk 10% of your stack on bluffs when you have no cards and your have good reasons to think your oponent will fold.

Example.

you are BB holding 9-7 suit.

Button raise an empty pot. RERAISE!!!! He'll call!!! then, BET the flop big! Especialy if the board looks scary. (flush draws, str8 draws) It will look like you are protecting your hand.

Use your tight image when you got nothing but shit!!!!

Not saying it would have been different and you would have win the tournament, but at least, you would have had more chance to... and probably tou would have make your JJ and KK paid better!!!!

KJ

3 hours with at most 30 hands an hour live(home game at that). So you were lucky to get 100 hands the whole time. Sounds like you are playing too tight if you got kings and jacks in that time so you got a few big hands. From your post I'd say you aren't playing some hands that you should.
