What should one do when you get very little for hands/flops/etc?
Tonight I was playing at a free mtt at a local club and seemed like whenever I got a good hand, I'd raise pre-flop, and still get a couple of callers, but when the flop comes I get no part of it and have strong bets infront of me. The rest of the time I was getting crappy hands, and would throw away or limp in, and still get no part of the flop but a few low pairs. My best hand that I ended throwing away after the flop was a pair of 6's that showed up that turned into a set at the river, but others were throwing money around and figured there was an over pair(which there was). And had one big slick hand that hit a pair of k's, but ended up folding to a lady with a set of j's.
I know I should have started bluffing some/more but their were several players there that were basically calling whatever, and I was scared I'd lose my money even quicker.
By the time the blinds had moved to level 3, I was short stacked and ended up going all in on a K5 suited pre-flop, which I know isn't the best choice, but it was first non 29o, etc hand that I had in awhile and ran with it. Pocket 6's called and hit the set on the flop, though I did get a pair of k's on the river.
but what is the best thing to do when you're getting almost nothing for hands?
