If it is a game where you have to have time and patience to be able to read the opponent's plays and what strategy to use with the cards you have and the ones that appear on the flop.
It is a game where you have to think about each bet to make and where to go all in or not, since it is like a penalty you miss it and you are out.

Yes patience and developing it is very important especially when you're grinding against strong players. Good players know what a spaz looks like and will punish it when they see it. You can however play tight and have a ton of patience and you will beat a majority of player pools over a large sample. You might not crush, but you'll definitely beat it. There are players who will lose their cool and donk into your AA and KK with 2-10 off suit. It happens frequently especially at the low stakes.. It even happens at high stakes. Jean Bellande and his 5 bet with 53 at Triton is a perfect example of being impatient and losing cool at high stakes.
Just these past two weeks I had a bad run of around 25k hands where I got money in good a LOT and just couldn't win a majority of flips during this portion of my sample.. I was running way under EV. But I kept cool, stuck to my game plan, and played well. I was still able to secure a small, positive win rate during these 25k hands because I played solid and was confident in my edge. This confidence came from studying the game, playing a LOT of hands, and using ALL of the tools available to help me win. And being patient.
If you're looking to develop your patience while playing poker I suggest slowly increasing the amount of time you play poker each day. Don't just jump into the mix and try to run a marathon when you haven't completed a 5k yet without stopping. Also- have a variety of non poker related activities with family and friends along with eating well, exercising, and getting good sleep. These are good for the brain and body and things I do to keep my mental fortitude at its peak. One last thing is to write down a game plan and what motivates you and place it in your peripheral while you play. That way when the going gets tough you can dig deep.
Hope this helps you

I started off playing thinking I had some patience. I didn't....what I did to help me out was doing more research and sitting back and not playing on purpose. I would force myself no matter what I had to not play. I would instead try to figure out what other players had, by their betting patterns.
Then I would see how they bet and while knowing my cards if I was in the hand what would I maybe do.

Patience is a big part of at least my poker strategy. One must not only be patient by as well (as others have said) combine discipline to your game in order to see better results in becoming a better player. One can't get caught up in all the "bingo players" and even think about calling a big raise without having the cards to back the bet. Yes it is hard at times being frustrated by others play at times when all you want to do is take them out. But be patience and take them for what you can only when you have the hand to back your bet.
Good Luck All

Big time...as a testimonial I have tried joining cardschat plenty of times before. And I lacked the patience to believe id ever get access to be platinum. So I kept quitting but when I learned to apply the art of patience. My poker got exponentially better and I got approved platinum. This really means a lot to me
