How do have the patience to fold for a long time and do not get a hand and get frustrated.

Multitabling helps a lot, if its online poker. Then you are busy making decisions at other tables and might not even notice, if you are card dead on one or two tables. I mostly notive it, if my HUD tells me, I look like the most insane nit in the tournament having played like only 1 out of the first 29 hands. In that case I might sometimes take advantage of my table image by making a slightly loose open.

To gain patience in poker, you need to set clear rules of the game, such as how long you are willing to play and what conditions will force you to end a session, and also work on discipline, playing only strong hands and not overusing bluffs. In moments of impatience, it is important to take breaks, get up from the table to change focus, and remember that staying in the game for a long time in this state increases the risk of losing funds.

Better fold and lose a few BBs than enter the pot with garbage and bleed chips much faster or even lose big.

I’ve learned to stay patient and trust the process.
