One of the most important aspects in playing poker is "Patience" You will on many occasions have to fold hand after hand, simply because they are not worth playing. Then when you start getting good hands you need to tread carefully and not chase the fishes away, let them come to the bait and fall into your net.
Poker is a Marathon race, not a Sprint race! Words to live by.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

In general, yes, there are long streaks when only cards like 5T come, and you need to be able to restrain yourself so as not to go all-in with a card like A4 when you see an ace for the first time. Of course, if there are very few chips left, then you need to bet with not very good cards, but patience is still a very important skill, very much.

Patience is one of the great skills necessary in this game, as well as knowing how to manage times.

I believe that after you work the whole technical part of the game, you also have to work the mental part, and for sure patience is part of it, as much as you are doing everything right, the variance sometimes harms your game, so having patience is fundamental.
