4 tips that might help with tournament survival when card-dead
It simply sucks when you’re forced to fold for long stretches of time in tournaments, particularly in the later stages when the blinds and antes really begin to dent your stack.
But what can you do? If you don’t get playable cards, it’s hard to get in the mix without forcing the issue, and that often ends badly.
However, there are some things you can do to ensure you don’t lose your mind and pounce on an opportunity when one emerges.
Check out Dave Roemer’s ‘4 tips for tournament survival when card-dead’ now.
