Patience is the most important thing in poker, only when playing a lot of dining tournament, rivals sometimes understand what you want by all means to get to the bonus area, and they increase the rate while you're doing a good hand pass and the fear of not to get in the bonus area.
 
Patience is needed, but reading your opponents can often override patience. Waiting for premium hands can be a slow death. But finding the range of effective hands against your table will open up your play and may allow for some big payouts.
 
I believe that patience is paramount, especially for an aggressive poker player.
 
Patience and discipline are the most important thing in poker.
Knowing what hands to play and play it rightly, when we enter on the hand we put all our Stack in Play.
 
oo yes, its easy to make one quick stupid mistake you cant take back
 
For me it's a key part of my game, that's why I play multi tables. That way I don't get bored and play dumber than I already do...
 
it is necessary to be able to constrain emotions when a series of failures has come
 
Patience is dependent upon situation. If you are always patient, you are easy to read. I favor selection over patience.

Personally I've found after playing online in the micro stakes for a while my game has improved greatly by being patient. Now, I thought I was patient before but you have to be really patient sometimes.
Once I become a better hand reader and better player overall I should be able to play more hands confidently but definitely an average player should be very patient.
 
Patience is important in every aspect of life. From the beginning of time humans have hurried everything along. In poker, as in life. Slow down, observe and then act. Gain as much information at all times by using patience. The more information ypu have. The better your decision making skills will be.
 
V Important. When I am card dead I am constantly looking for excuses to enter a hand that I really shouldn't. E.g., when I have a medium pair and am facing a large raise, and the blinds aren't deep enough to have the right odds to set mine, but I want to be impatient and call anyway, maybe I will hit the set...
When you start thinking like this, have to make a conscious effort to be disciplined and make the decision that is +EV in the long run.
 
Absolutely! It is key. I will fold pocket Aces if being forced all in on the bubble.
 
Patience is very important for the game of poker. But I think it is not the most important part of the success. If you do not have the skills of the game, theoretical knowledge, experience and so on, one patient will not help you achieve success in the game.
I am a tournament player. And I was in the game for a long time. Of course patience is very important to me. But as I said, the above is not the most important thing for the game of poker.

Good luck in the game and life 😉
 
i would`t say it`s the most important,,,aggressivness is. But,just like in alot of things,and if you want to do it well,you have to be diversive and make good decisions under duress. But most of all,you must love to play:idea:
 
Just got back online after about a year. I kept telling myself to stay patient but you know the all in everyhand people. Decent hand not boss all in with idiot pre and you know 2 6 beats A 10. Yep should of stayed patient.
 
I do not know whether will help us patience,maybe when we play some tournaments who play a few hours,and what If you can not be waiting ?, has a tournament which is played fast no time for patience you must quickly think fold or all in,then you need a lot of luck🙂all we need is a lot of luck🙂every player should know the basics of poker games🙂but mostly they need a lot of luck,I watched a lot of professional players no one was too much patience,I do not know whether someone will agree with me, but if you watch professional players will see that there is no patience with them,most of them immediately play all in🙂
