How do you define being card dead. What does it mean to you?

Getting non playable hands in non playable situations over an extended amount of time.
It means to me to be patient while waiting for the spot to get back in, and to utilize this time to further our understanding of our opponents and how they are playing right now.

Being "card dead" in poker means getting bad hands for a long time, making it hard to play. You keep folding while others win pots. It feels frustrating, but good players adjust by stealing blinds, bluffing, and using position wisely instead of just waiting for strong hands to play.

example league here play for over an hour during a tournament and get no face cards for that hour it happens at times...is nothing worth playing and your on auto fold much worse is playing a 7 day event and being card dead for like 15 hours when have a decent stack though....but ya is some tournaments with replay i run into just non stop garbage hands not even 10 high just over and over its like really lol

To me being card dead is not always about not getting premium hands over a range of time. Sometimes card dead is when your cards are just not suitable for your opponent(s) and positions. I see it all the time, players can be committed to playing terrible hands; so our cards just need to counter their playing style. Even if we only have mediocre cards. Take for example 3 players left and a JTo can be payable depending on the situation. Can't really say your card dead when the situation provides the necessary range to play.

You can only be truly card dead if you are a patient player...chasers are never card dead. If you are patient and see your starting stack reduced by 25% or more before you can even play a hand, you are officially card dead.

It is familiar to me.There are many tournaments that the card is dead.When I throw a cross for an hour and then finally a good card comes and I fall with it:)

It is very boring . I realized it very much lately . I find myself playing for an hour with no good hand or only one good hand . That's extremely boring for sure .
