I can do tournament play and literally fold everything and end up in the last 4. And then start playing.

But how many hands are you prepared to play before you think it's time to actually go and chat to family?

If the card doesn't go, I can be very patient, like a boa constrictor, I wait until the last card, sooner or later a good card will come, the main thing is to catch this moment, and it happens that you play the whole tournament, but there won't be a good card, which means today is not your day.

When the hand doesn't come, I play aggressively. I do not expect luck, I find it myself.As they say you need to take the bull by the horns

i play micro so I just wait wait and wait, but when I have 10bb or less I play aggressively, try to take steal, jam spot

I'm all about the experience, so initially when blinds are low I play most hands assuming no one goes all in. Later as blinds increase I'm more patient. Patience is not a strength of mine

When everything is fine with my health and nothing distracts me. I can play one long tournament very patiently.

Hello
Patience is a relative concept. Earlier I thought that patience is to wait for a strong hand and win. But a strong hand does not always bring profit. Now I think patience is to wait for the moment when you can take the pot on any card against a weak opponent
Best regards, Sergei

Unfortunately, I cannot boast that I am always patient))) But if the tournament is very important for me, then with patience everything is in perfect order !!!

How can you play no hands at all, and end up in the last 4? Blinds and antes would eat you alive. To get to final table you must double up several times.
You should be patient yes. But patiend like a tiger on a tree waiting for a gazelle, striking at every opportunity, not patiend like getting to final table patient, that won't work, no sirrey.

And yes, im extremely patient. The key is that i do some stuff along with the poker. Play chess, watch youtube or whatever. But when im getting involved, i switch my whole attention at table.

I am very patient while I am playing video games. I just wait for premium hands to come and I will play it. That is all.

Because we start with 9 and people go all-in immediately in most games. That throws 2 out straight away, so down to 7.

Quick play and before you know it, you're down to 4. The first round of the blinds is generally low so if my hands are so bad, I'll check and fold.

I'm then around the last 4-5.

This is when I have no luck at all. I finish in the money (top 3) 95% of the time.

But if I don't get hands, I'll call things I shouldn't - hence the OP.

Ohh, so you mean sit'n'go toutnaments, i see. Well in mtt that certainly does not work.

I can't stand it for a long time, but this is my drawback in the game.I can't concentrate, I make a lot of mistakes.But I don't think it's my family's fault).In fact, I even play cards with my family sometimes.

In my case, I analyze the number of hours.
After 8 hours in front of the screen I feel overwhelmed.

I learned to be much more patient with trash hands before I despaired and opened and opened to see if I tied something but now I am a little more patient to only play the correct hands

Also be patient The player also needs to be patient. Being aggressive does not mean playing in every round, especially if you have a bad hand. This can quickly reduce your chips, making you out of the game faster. This is the most basic poker tip. The player needs to fold a few rounds at times. At first, this can be frustrating, but a little patience can keep you high for several rounds, entering the game at exactly the right time to win. It is worth remembering that, based simply on the law of probabilities, most rounds (hands) will be lost. If your cards are not good, strong, the best move for you is to fold and preserve your chips within your poker strategies. Take advantage of this time to get to know each of your opponents' strategies and coldly analyze their moves. In short, be patient and wait for a round that is in your favor, then show aggression and win that hand.

It all depends on whether we are talking about online poker or live poker ... I think that with online poker you can always chat with the family, it doesn't matter how far I am or how many chips I have

im fine its just too boring
