Poker and Patience

[LiviuRo123]

I think patience is one of the hardest but most important skills in poker. Do you agree?

 

[margmilo44]

especially in a really long tournament

There's no doubt that more patient players earn more money playing poker over the long term than their competitors.If you expect absolute patience from yourself, you'll inevitably be disappointed. It's better to be a little more patient with yourself. The thing is, sometimes fear disguises itself as patience.

 

[Tinmar]

Yes, especially in amateur poker, playing with your friends etc.

Patience is definitely important, but the most crucial thing is to understand the game itself — knowing when it makes sense to wait and when the risk is justified. That’s the key in my opinion.

SYes, having patience in poker is one of the greatest virtues, especially in long tournaments.

 

[chicbulls2]

you play patient, get a good stack, then loose everything in two hands with premium holdings...there is no perfect way to play

 

[Super_Bafalo]

Patience is important, and so is concentration! I also think luck is equally important.

 

[finaltable1]

Especially when you're card dead for a couple of hours.

 

[dompoker]

I think that luck is more important, even if you are a good player you can lose several times with AA, it has happened to me.

 

[veszmo]

That's right. You can't play poker without patience. Anyone who does will lose.
