So as a beginner from reading around, the sound advice seems to start with ABC poker, keep it simple, choose your hands and play aggressively when they come. That's fine, simple advice to follow.
But I would say my biggest weakness is patience, I don't suffer too badly, if at all, from tilt (maybe when the stakes start going up that will change!) and not much else tends to bother me, however after looooong periods of time folding hand after hand when all I get is absolute trash I get tempted into marginal hands, check/folding from the BB often hoping to catch a flop or calling cheap raises with nothing, even ABC poker becomes a challenge for me when it gets like this.
So what should I do, just rigidly stick to my guns or are there times/positions/hands I could be playing? or other tactics I can employ?
