I was playing the pokerstars School league level initiation and was in 3 place with 60k chips and the BB was 800. So I get so trustworthy that I pay up to 45k chips looking for a flush that never came. That's not the first time it happens to me - how can I improve my patience?

In poker there are no limits for perfection, you will always find what else you need to learn.

Hey. I can recommend reading books on psychology including 2 volumes of Tendler.
Learn the theoretical base, disassemble distributions and will often be on the final table.

Isn't it funny how often you don't hit your drawing hands but get beat by them all the time. You have to have control of the pot. If your chasing usually your in trouble. You have all them chips let it go. Unless you put the pressure on with a Simi bluff going to hit is still crazy putting 3/4 of your chips. On a draw. Around thirty percent to hit. Let's play poker:ciao:

One of the most important skills of a great poker player is mental strength. That's the skill that allows you to make correct decisions throughout a long period of time. It's a personality thing, so read some books on emotional intelligence or practice patience in your daily life to incorporate it into your game. Although, if what you seek from poker is just fun and occasional thrills then keep playing your game. A winning poker player needs to be resilient at every step.

Poker is an exciting game with much intensity. Try to be as calm as you can. In order to have patience, do a very simple thing, learn from your mistakes! Think and study. It is a logic action after the mistakes.

Spending 75% of your only stack on a mediocre draw like a 37% is a big mistake. Even monster draws not not worth that much unless you feel your getting paid.

I had never big Problems with laying down cards. Im actually enjoying a good fold a lot. Just start to celebrate a good fold the same way you do celebrate the winning of a pot.

If you want to reach the final table then you should not take risks, to look for a flush or straight just forgetting about math is a mistake.

even with your stack up its never good to chase:0) but calling some good suited cards is and hope to hit on the flop:0) patients is a hard feeling to control:0) maybe find something else to do when your that close its better then doing something stupid and lose a good chunk of change:0) good luck out there keep grinding
