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 lolHow do you define being card dead. What does it mean to you?
For me is to not receive good hands for a long period of time.
This is also how I feel. At that point I can only wish a big stack doubles me up. It's cheap for them and when you looked like a nitty fish for the last hour they don't care lol.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.
