Patience in poker means you have to lose sometimes and know when to cut your losses. Sticking out a bad hand hoping for a river card is not patient, and it will cost you big time! There are lots of ways to maintain patience when playing Texas holdem poker. The most important thing to remember is that patience in poker is vital to success!

I think patience would not be the right word, but calm to make the best decisions, both within a tournament and when to stop, how to manage your bankroll to reduce losses and maximize profits.

Patience?

Yes, patience is tantamount to long term success. Think of player's we've witnessed who have gone on tilt. Basically, when we refer to someone who has gone on tilt, we're referring to someone who has lost their patience and has started making irrational decisions.

Yeah, once in a while they may recover from the loss that caused their behavior, but most often they just lose the farm.

in my opinion patience and more than 50% in poker imagine you study for several years understand everything about poker and an excellent player but don't have the patience to make your strategy and spoil everything because you didn't have patience

Patience is the key

patience is very important,

Every lost hand is one.
Sometimes the temptation is to bet high quickly.
This often goes well the first few times.
But the further you get, the more important it becomes to be patient and only play with good cards.
I like to play actively and offensively, which means that I sometimes take too much risk.

I heard people say no but there’s def times it is. Not where you wait for good hole cards but sometimes you need to fold and wait for a better opportunity ie a better time for a bluff or range advantage etc.

Ofcourse it is. But patience is just one small part of whole mindset when it comes to poker.
Skill is important for sure, but right mindset is also very important.

final table loses

how does it feel when you find yourself all the way to the final tables of the tournament and you get busted before you can climb the ladder to the top and knocked out on 5-6-7-8 places:confused:

Yes. But not everything. You cannot wait until you have monster hand. Even monster hand can lose against big chip

If friend, patience is important, knowing how and how much to play, at what moment. Not to go very fast but how and when to put your chips, study discipline and perseverance lead you to success ... and luck of course

In short, poker is a small life. Therefore, everything that is needed in life to be successful is also necessary in poker. This, of course, is knowledge, psychology, luck, patience, etc.

Certainly yes - patience is a must have for a winning player! If you are impatient by character, poker is not a game for you.

Absolutely not.... if you don't mind losing....
In case you wanna play well and inncrease
your chances of winning, then patience is
an essentiell skill.

If you play too many hands you waste your chips
in situations in which you will need a good amount
of luck to win.

Though folding is the boring part of the game it is
also the best way to minimize losses.

In my opinion it is one of the basic skills you need for playing Poker. I play more successful starting a MTT with time and patience and wait for the correct moment. But when blinds are growing fast of course courage should more and more overtake your patience before you are running out of your chips.

I think patience and not giving in to anxiety is a good percentage of the game. It is what defines a good player, knowing how to wait for the right hands. I think...:cool::cool:
