Totally agree. Poker isn’t just about the cards you get, it’s about managing your emotions, staying calm when nothing good comes your way, and waiting for the right opportunity to act. In a way, the patience you build at the table ends up teaching you a lot about decision-making in life too.

I also think that poker is a game of patience because if you get too anxious you end up playing hands that you wouldn't normally play, especially when you've been playing for several hours and are already tired, but all of that is part of it lol

That's true!
Sometimes on impulse we often lose the pot, and when we wait for the right hand, we achieve great results.
Patience always

Too much, but really you have to be too patient.

That’s a very sharp observation in many ways, poker is a test of patience.
You’re often forced to wait through stretches of unplayable hands, resist the urge to chase losses, and sit calmly while variance swings against you. The best players aren’t the ones who win every hand, but the ones who manage their emotions, wait for the right spots, and keep making good decisions even when the deck isn’t cooperating.
If you think about it, patience is what allows skill to show over time without it, tilt and impulsive moves erase your edge.

It's a mix of many factors and feelings. Patience is one of them and one of the most important...
