Anxiety makes many players lose patience and end up playing with any card. I was like that, when I got a long streak of bad cards I ended up being impatient and played with any card and ended up being eliminated early from tournaments. I had to work hard to improve my psychology to handle when the game sent me a sequence of bad cards, and when I learned to wait for the right cards, regardless of the amount of weak cards that came before, I started to get further in tournaments, because I didn't it's changing the way you play that will make you go far and have patience and wait for the right cards.

It always seems that the game is against you, but if you wait for the right cards to come, and believe me if you know how to wait you will already be far ahead of many other players, because what I find most at the tables are impatient players who end up playing with any card and handing out free chips to opponents.

Can you keep your patience and wait for the right cards when the game sends you a long streak of bad cards?
I'm so patient waiting for a good hand, I sometimes fall asleep on the table.:ROFLMAO:

At first it is difficult to contain yourself in the face of a losing streak, but you gain it with experience. that's how it happened to me. I had many bad streaks which I could not recover from and lost direction and money. then I started to improve in terms of concentration and control over my emotions and today I can say that I am doing a little better.

Patience is okay generally but sometimes time is against you and you are forced to act sooner or later without a premium hand or risk losing all your chips to blinds and antes.For example satellite freerolls on pokerstars which are hyperturbos and starting stacks are small.

There is a different style of play, tight and loose, impatient players play loose.

Patience is very valuable tool to have but when your chips are Getting smaller and smaller you have to find away to win 🥇 like 👍 Texas dolly said if luck shuts the front door 🚪 you climb 🧗‍♀️ thru the window 🪟.

Hi.
I always wait for strong cards. I am never in a hurry, because haste leads to wrong decisions. I don't play with junk, instead I patiently wait for good cards and situations. I am generally very patient and my patience very often allows me to earn additional income.
Got ya LENA 😉😅

when I started to play I think I had much more patience, I could wait a long time until good cards arrived, but I think it was because basically I was starting and learning, but now I have realized that I am a little more impatient when I do not receive good cards, but I also think that it varies by tournament, players, state of mind, for example if I am very tired because I already have many hours playing, I may get a little impatient, if there are very aggressive players my patience activates automatically
