(Last night I had an endless miserable parade of 82o and J3o in a league game, saw three flops and two rivers in 90 minutes, and still managed to fold into the big points - or what would have been the money in a cash tournament - because I could see that everyone else was playing crazy loose and I could just wait out the carnage and actually get some reward for my time.)
If you're nowhere near the money, have no fold equity and need to double up before you bleed to death, something like 74s (suited, connectable, pretty likely to be live cards) has a
smidgen of merit, likewise the 79s you eventually went in with, but I'd rather get blinded out than call a raise for all my chips with 94o or J4o - in fact, I'd rather shag Johnny Vegas than call with 94o or J4o.
