How to sustain your stack when you run dry

Everyone knows that it´s not hard to keep the chips coming in when you are on good run. It doesn´t matter if you are playing blackjack, poker, or other casino games – when you have good cards. The problem starts when you are getting bad cards and no playable hands. Should you try to raise all the time or should you try and stay afloat?

If you are getting card dead/not connecting you should keep your stack up by doing the following:

1. Stealing often from Button/SB/CO, this is especially true if in a MTT where you will be changing tables often enough to worry about players tightening up to this.

2. Start opening your range at the Button/CO. You have position which will allow you to take down some easy pots with C-bets. In addition, opening your range to hands such as low suited connecters will allow you to get into situations where you can stack up against people who can’t let go of top pairs.
