Of course patience is one of the most important virtues to play poker, if you do not have it you will not last long in tournaments and you will not make good decisions in your game because you want to obtain results very quickly based on emotional decisions.

With patience you can better analyze your game and your opponents, you can also wait for a good moment to double down on your game, waiting for that opportunity to go amassing chips little by little without haste.

If you are one of those who do not like to play long tournaments due to lack of patience, it is better that you play sit & go of 18, 27 or 45 players that are short or play turbos tournaments if you are an aggressive loose player.

I believe that patience is absolutely a fundamental virtue in poker. It is so important that it is unavoidable, it cannot be replaced by any other virtue. Impatience is a lack of humility, without humility there is no success!

I would say that you do need some patience or else you will be throwing your money to the wolves....I usually wait for decent hands and that takes patience and determination...Good luck to all in your games.

I would say that it is the most important virtue in this game. It is very easy to lose patience when not getting good hands and this would undoubtedly lead to failure. You just have to be patient and have a strong mentality in this beautiful sport.

#36 October 14th, 2020, 3:57 PM

I agree with the comments which say it's very important - I would put disipline (which encompasses an element of patience , but also being willing to get the money in when you should but don't want to) ahead of patience though.

Patience is the main key in poker, know when to hold them and know when to fold them

#41 October 14th, 2020, 6:40 PM

A patient person will not make bad decisions because of boredom or tilt. He knows that his time is still coming and he shouldn't be exchanged for petty emotions associated with any particular failure at the poker table.Patience is strength. It is the ability to distance oneself from negative emotions, the ability to wait, observe, and knowing when to act.

#47 October 14th, 2020, 7:42 PM

Without patience, and discipline, all the knowledge in the world won't get you to many final tables.

If you're playing over 25% of the hands, you're giving me money.

#48 October 14th, 2020, 7:44 PM

if you run out of patience, in other words, interest, I think it's worth taking a break, and in my case, I act like this, I qualify for an expensive tournament, and try to make money, the best motivation is if you don't have the patience to play fap-limits for years

#49 October 14th, 2020, 7:44 PM

Patience and success go hand and hand. Can't have one without the other.
