  The plague is what happens when the table goes dead. There's no action, the game is going slow, it's getting boring, and worst of all, you're not making any money. The plague infects many tables at many times. It can last for a great long time, killing the table, or it can be a short period of little action, setting the table up for a rebirth.



  The plague is like a force of nature. Seldom can you stop it or avoid it. Your only real recourse is to try and ride it out and be in a position to capitalize on its aftermath. This requires careful play on your behalf, however.



  It's hard to determine when the plague will end, and when the game will pick back up. It depends just as much on the players as it does on the cards. Some will try to force it, but beware of this course of action. You can force an end to the plague, but it will take a strong investment with your chips. Doing this can restart the game, but it puts a lot of your own money in play to restart it. When the cards get good again, they might not come to you, and your investment might lead to someone else's success. It's better to wait for someone else to take the jump, and yourself be ready to catch the winnings.
