On Thursday I played in the Ventian daily tournaments. Played in the noon $150 and the 7pm 125. Both tournaments I lasted about 2.5 hours before busting and I was ridiculously card dead the entire day.

I saw one pocket pair all day. Pocket 9s and I raised, was called by 3 players and the flop came A/K/6 so I was forced to fold on the flop to one of the bettors.

I saw A/K once, A/Q twice/ K/J twice and A/J once. But overall I was getting mostly things like 4/9 off all day. And Even when I got those decent hands I never flopped anything great. Only once did I flop top pair.

The best hand I got all day was two pair when I had K/7 in BB and flopped K/7/3 and I busted on this hand because my opponent had flopped trip 3s.

I was playing way too tight granted but even the times I was folding things like 6/7, it wasn't like I would have gotten something big. The boards were missing even my folded hole cards for the most part. Meanwhile the guy next to me flopped a flush twice in 5 hands with J/9 suited, diamonds then spades.
Same guy also flopped 10s full of Aces on another hand.

My question to you is what is the worst stretch of card deadness that you have had in your poker playing days? It really made my whole day fairly unenjoyable.

I once got A8 3 hands in a row

Wow op you played 75 hands and didn't get aces at all? Live poker is rigged.

This is what you get for being a live tournament player

I've actually never gotten pocket Aces live, but last session I played a few weeks ago I got K/K like 3 times, Q/Q etc.

I'm just saying that this was a remarkably dead day and inviting you the responder to also add in your similar story, if you have one.

back in the days i once got dealt pocket rockets 3 times in a row... all three allins, won 2 times when everybody folded and lost once when got called with 99 and villain flopped set with 1st card on the flop....

One time I played live 4/8 for a few hours and was super card dead and dropped about three racks. </coolstory>

this applies to a recent event that happened to me.

basically this thread could have just been about that

I once went a whole orbit without playing a hand

oh morph, pleaze gives me breaks.... =) it was only my first time.... at least u left true story there.... thanks!

On Bovada, my AA got called allin pre against another dude with AA. Very next hand, I have AA again. Couldn't believe my luck. I get into a raising war with the same dude and we're both allin pre again. What does he have? AA of course! #onlyonbovada

Once I was playing in a private bar game at Nuttal & Mann's in Deadwood, South Dakota when some drunk random joined, spewing money, quickly going broke, and asking to borrow more to stay in the game. I told him he should take a break and come back when he can cover what he has already lost. He was really in a bad way so I tossed him a few bucks to eat some breakfast and he seemed to appreciate that.

Next day I'm back in the same game. I prefer to sit in the 9 seat which is back in the corner in this room, but the only open seat today is the 4 hole. A splashy regular I call Chuckles (who I believe is rich) had "my" seat. I tried to get him to switch a couple times, but he refused.

On this particular hand I am under the gun and see Q with the A which has a heel mark I just noticed on the face -- I'm not sure what might be going on there, but the game has endured cheating allegations in the past so I make a mental note to be wary as things develop. the blinds are 1-2 with a mandatory $5 straddle I have out already with about $350 behind. Most of the table has around $300 with one $120 short stack and Chuckles has me covered with $650.

The short stack to my left calls, 3 players fold, Chuckles calls from the cutoff, the button, and the blinds call for another standard family pot. I elect to raise to $40 and the short stack behind me quickly shoves. Chuckles tanks for about a minute before tossing out a call, and the button and blinds fold. The call-raise really rustled my jimmies, and I have no idea what Chuckles is doing with less than a pot sized bet remaining if I continue, and that marked ace... **** it, "All in!" "Call." "****."

The dealer quickly raps, burns, and spreads an A88 flop. As he prepares to burn and turn everybody looks at me, or through me, or... what's going on? Confused, I start to flip my cards, then I hear "Damn you, take that!" as a small drop of blood hits the Q in my hand.

Haven't gotten a decent playing hand in over two years.

I don't understand what happened at the end there...
