I am looking for some advise here. I have been holdem for about one month now so am still basicly a green rookie. I have read everything i can get my hands on and am quickly becoming addicted to the game. The scenario leading up to my question is this. After entering in my first live action tournament of no limit ($30 entry fee) holdem, i found myself at the final table of ten. I was the short stack with $1000 in chips and the button was to my left. The binds were $400/$800. After being dealt nothing playable, i folded out all away around til the big blind hit me. 60% of my chips went in at this point and i had 8-2o. With a preflop raise to $100, i was forced all in with nothing and was eliminated in 10th place. How do you play in this situation when your not getting the cards? I waited for something playable to move in with but it never came. Any advise for future use would be helpful.

Regards
Dale
