Over the many years of poker the hardest skill and most important skill in poker is discipline. I find it very hard to not play marginal hands especially when you have not been getting hands. I have had lots of trouble not playing those tempting K 10 unsuited or J 10 unsuited. I think that those are some of the hands that kill you in the long run. For example, say you have J 10 and the flop comes up 10 4 6. You know you have top pair so it is very tough to fold. So you will probably call a couple bets and lose to a higher kicker. Those hands hurt you in the end even if you do not lose that much in that single hand. Does andy other people have success playing those kinds of hands?
