Of course it is very important to have patience but it does not always turn out especially when with you at the same table sit donkeys who smile luck with any cards.

In a tournament, patience is one of your top skills. It only takes one mistake to go out. When I've had my deepest runs in tournaments, I often have long stretches of folding hand after hand, just waiting for the moment to strike and get a big pot.

It is difficult. There are offensive situations. The main thing is not to give up.

Patience is very important. This honestly depends. A good way to practice patience is to play for lower stakes, like penny tables. Tournament survival is everything. Some players have the go big or go home attitude. While that may help a player win big, it causes big loses. Consistency is important if you're happy with cashing every tournament, instead of big risks to have a chance at a chip lead.

I just breath. Learned how much it can help when your BPMs start increasing the closer you get to FT. I find myself caught in an adrenaline swirl and breathing seems to help a lot.

I am not always focused and when that happens I lose patience and obviously lose the game! Excitement is a good thing, it happens when I'm listening to inspirational songs.

Patience is in my opinion a very important skill for a poker player. Often poker comes down in making your move on the right moment. I would say that for me I got better in dealing with patience by experience (playing more tournaments).

Patience is one of the most important things in the game. I think if you are in a good phycsical contition and you play till 2-3 tables you can keep your patience. Music is basic, because it helps and protects concentration. Breaks must be used to get some rest and recover energy.

Patience is everything!

I think patience is the #1 thing you need to have BEFORE you even start playing poker. If you have zero patience then this isn't the game for you. You need to be in it for the long game, especially if you are playing tournaments. Most times, the game doesn't even start until late registration is over and that can be 5 hours sometimes. If you can't wait it out for a decent hand and just play any 2 cards then you will probably be out long before late reg is over. You definitely have to hold out and pick your moments to play your cards.

To last at a poker table, patience is an essential ally. the game of patience is a strategic weapon. when you learn to exercise discipline and discipline. it is a technique for getting through a bad card cycle or recovering from bad moves. but the biggest advantage of this technique is that by showing his patience, a player will send his opponents an image of solidity, serenity and above all an ability not to panic.

to keep yourself in a solid frame of mind for the duration of a tournament. The first advice that seems the most obvious. it's sleep, sleep and more sleep. to increase its ability to grind. you have to understand that endurance and strength of mind develop in a similar way to that of a runner who trains every day. with experience you build a solid frame of mind during the game. a large part of your poker decisions must be automated at the unconscious level. because a decision that requires reflection consumes more energy than an automatic decision.

Patience is only the first necessary skill. Perhaps the most difficult to acquire.

Patience is very important in poker. Playing too many hands can be easily exploited by good opponents. Sometimes you are forced to wait for the right spot and time to play in order to be successful.

Patience is apart of the equation of being a good poker player.

I think patience is the weapon of every good poker player. Without patience, I don't think you can succeed in a tournament or anything in life ;)

It’s key to being a good poker player but I also see situations where you have to be aggressive and not be bullied around , I see people making the mistake of sitting back and waiting for the perfect hand and are slowly bled , learn to balance patience and being aggressive at the same time cause every hand is a winner and a loser .

You must never lose patience in a tournament, even if you have few chips always have to fight.

Hi.
Patience is the basic skill of a successful player. Although poker is just a hobby for me, I always try to be patient and take risks only when there are obvious reasons.
Good luck.

Only patience is not enough, you also need focus and seek for a great opportunity to multiply your stack
