I have really been struggling and wanted to give up. I posted that and it was suggested look up Jonathan little's website. Well I have and found out I was doing everything according to his winning strategy. Since reading I have played in a couple tourneys and received bad beats each time. I guess I am saying a need a boost from my friends here. I must be patient and keep practicing - things wont happen over night even though I want them to. I will see you all at the cardschat tourney on ACR this weekend, since I am off work - SO WATCH OUT LOL!!

this is what I always tell myself when im playing, "Just be patient" but bad beats are just normal, ive seen many bad beats in poker Live/Online just have to move on ahead and keep playing.

Statistically speaking, you can go for extended stretches of bad luck. Keep playing well and things always even out.

I think lack of patience is one of my biggest weaknesses in poker. I get anxious and/or tired of waiting and make stupid moves with lacking cards that cost me money. Patience truly is a virtue.

Patience is the hardest thing to control in poker. You want to play and not watch. I am guilty of it myself. When I run out of patience then I hit tilt and its the death!

Discipline is important. Don't call off 30% of your stack preflop with hands like T7 suited.

Do not lose your composure. you still have everything ahead. Gain experience in the game. Theory alone will not help you play well.

This says it very well. Bad beats are normal and part of the game. But to dwell on them are toxic. It will affect how you play in a very negative way if you dwell on them. Simply dwell on the positive equity plays and you will succeed in the long run.

No winning players hang out in the bad beat threads. That’s where poker players go to die.

Yes, patience is one of the main aspects of poker and the characteristics of the players!!! patience is a must have Wake up each player, but to me sometimes it is lacking, which leads to early departure from the tournament.

Couldn't agree more. Patience is key. You are going to get bad hands just go with your gut and know when to fold. When you win some hands and you will, it'll be that much sweeter.

Over time, you will stop worrying because of bad beats. Without them, the game is impossible. And patience helps us a lot while we gain experience.

Patience is probably my biggest weakness. I just want to play poker, not watch poker. I also noticed after being in a bad mood in the morning, for no particular reason, my whole day of poker was off. Some bad beats, I can shake off. Some others not so much. I think this is a patience thing as well.

Your Worst Poker Enemy is a really good book to read. This will really help you recognize when your allowing other things to influence your play. It’s near impossible to be a winning player without the right mindset.
