Hi everyone
i am new to poker been playing for 4months, got no bankroll as to say, i am a recreational player and add to my account when needed, not much but keeps me playing over the weekend, started playing cash 2-4p but not to good win some lose some you now how it goes, i started playing 2-30 bounty hunters at the start of December and found it great value, play for couple of hours, started doing well, won one, 2 twice, final tabled 7 times, surprised myself but really enjoying my poker, i now i play some bad ways, but i now as soon as i do it, i need to start recognise my bad plays before i play them, easy said than done, but i am trying hard,
my question is what do you do when you a card dead, i try to see it out but it comes a time when you have to push all in with really bad cards.

    If you have had to fold for a few  orbits due to being card dead people should get the idea that you are quite tight, so before your stack gets to small play a couple of trashy hands aggro raise up pre and come out betting try and pick on someone who you know will fold to aggressive play. And play aggressive on or near the bubble, at the small levels people seem happy to min cash so dont like to risk there chips :-)
    I am sure some of the bigger poker players can give you better advice but im a small bankroll player and it keeps me going ish..

    The trouble with giving advice...is it could be the wrong advice! So i never give any....never take notice of any....and....why would players offer to improve YOUR game! I dont get it!

    hi G

    cash can be very up and down
    even for the more seasoned players.

    like you said bounty hunters do give you good value
    for your money,have you played any DYMs?
    they are even better value,as they start from just 30p.

    re your question "what do you do when you are card dead?"

    as f1II78 says when you do decide to play a hand
    play it aggressively,
    also have you tried raising when you are on the button?

    again it,s worth stealing a few blinds
    this will help you keep your stack up.
    usually a 3 times the big blind raise
    does the trick.
    try it a few times,and it should help.

    best of luck
