Patience is #1
Naturally and in day to day life I am a very impatient person but I learned very quickly that if I didn't learn patience I was not going to be successful in poker at all. While I may get luck a few times, you can't play every single hand. You might see it working for others by playing dumb cards and winning but you can't do the same. It will only take you so far in this game and will not allow you to progress in the buy-in level you are playing at. You need to wait it out and play the cards they way they should be; keep folding the crap and play the rest but don't chase hands.
Now if only I could adopt this in my everyday life my family would be a lot happier!
