Anyone struggle with patience?

I don't tilt much when I lose a hand but a big leak is that I get really impatient. Like if I am playing a while and haven't been making much profit I will starting doing silly things almost trying to force my hands to profit. Anyone else get this and any coping mechanisms :P

Play more tables/RUSH.

I agree with what Brank advised, I get bored and frustrated if I am
not getting any hands and I start doing silly things, after a while but I found
that by playing more tables, I usually play between 4 and 6, any more any my brain fries, I dont have time to get frustrated or bored cos I have a move to make most of the time, I also find that playing more tables take the sting out of bad beats cos I dont get as much time to dwell on them.
Start off playing 2 and gradually add more as you feel comfortable with them and find your own level and only play as many tables as you are comfortable with.

Mate, I think that's a form of TILT. CONTROL is the key!
I often get the same way, but we gotta maintain complete control if we are to win in the long-run.

I bet lot's of people go through that. I play 2 tables mostly because I can get more hands, thus more data to study and that I'm not bored with playing a game for hours getting nothing.

I think rush would be your best friend.

yea i am the worst wen it comes to patience, i start trying to make something out of nothing and it just bites me in the ass...playing 2 or 3 tables helps usually, but im not comfortable playing too many tables yet...

They don't universally tell u patience is the key for nothing!

Everybody has to deal with it. For some it comes naturally, for most of the rest of us, we have to learn it.

The panic is because sometimes we can focus to hard on a game. When we do that we see things that don't matter. So many folks multi-table to eliminate the extraneous bs. Just the facts ma'am stuff.

I generally have a solitaire game going.....

Ya, I have that problem too, I get bored and call hands I know I should fold just to make things more interesting and I lose a lot of chips in the process.

Like people have already said its all about disciplining yourself, I sadly haven't managed it just yet!

play PLO

Rather than avoiding the issue by multi-tabling or playing Rush (major UGH), I'd tackle it head on. If you lack patience, practice it. Spend the time watching what happens at your table, putting people on hands/ranges, reviewing some HHs (mainly ones that went to showdown), and taking notes on the way they play hands.
After all if you get dealt 99 in the BB, it helps a lot to know if the guy in UTG+1 who just went all in is a nit or a maniac.
The people who lack the patience to wait for good hands and/or good spots, are the people you can profit from the most, as long as you are much better at using your chips than they are. So don't be like them!

I have this problem too and really affects my game, especially on the tournaments cause my patience ends in the final levels. When then happens I start watching TV, but doesn't help much.

I think this is the biggest problem all players have. They all know pocker , they play their best for a period of time but after that the start doing -EV moves. So there is a way to deal with it.
Educate yourself to split you playing time into more sessions with big breaks after them. One, one and a half hour sometimes even less than this. You live the pocker site no matter how good you are doing. Go do something else , read, study, watch TV, play a game, sleep. Anything but not actually play. I have this problem myself and untill recent i did not found the best way for me to deal with it. I split my playing time in 1 hour sessions. I play more than this only when i play CC freerolls. It does not matter if your winrate is small. At least you are winning. When you start playing bad you will quicly loose all your wins and more. Playing the same good pocker all the time makes you deal with variance. Playing good and than bad makes you a loosing player.

and here I was thinking it was slowly slowly...
