Patience or knowledge

kamciono5 · Mar 16, 2020

You can be patience and have knowledge, but the most important in poker is... just luck, without this you won't win anything

Both.

When you first start out in poker, knowledge is the first thing you'll need to get up to speed. However, with just a modicum of knowledge, you can become sufficiently dangerous at the table, given enough patience. Focus, patience, and alertness are all critical for success.

Of course, if your goal is to become world-class, considerable study is necessary to keep up with the bleeding edge of poker knowledge.

good point. I think the more I focus the less I get bored and lose patience. Also working on alertness and increasing poker study.

I believe that knowledge encompasses patience. I do not think you can be successful in the world of poker if you fail to be patient. Good long-term decisions are those taken with enough patience.
Personally I find anxiety (I am very anxious) as the main problem to be solved if I want to improve my game. Often I take wrong decisions because I do not wait for the right time.

I have anxiety too although it seems to be getting better these days. Maybe my poker game will get better too! We will see. I think what I meant was that my anxiety and boredom would cause me to lose my patience so I need to work on both anxiety and boredom.

Both. There's no good game without that one and the other.

FIERROS · Mar 17, 2020

I think you need knowledge and patience to win in poker.

beldin2010 · Mar 19, 2020

Ok, I think there is no most-important-think/skill.
To be successful you need combination of all skills, patience, knowledge, where to bluff, where to fold and to watch carefully our opponents.

knowledge will create patience with wisdom and understanding

mountainfox · Mar 20, 2020

Knowledge is better because if you have more experience than others, you will have the upper hand.

Liru · Mar 20, 2020

Both are very important factors in the game imagine just waiting for good hands and not knowing how to play them or playing every hand smartly and bust out.

eniseysmail · Mar 21, 2020

Yes. That's what I miss in poker - it's patience.

What I mean by patience is waiting for good hands or good situations for bluff.
What I mean by knowledge is stuff you have learned about poker like what experts and experience have taught you.
Patience or knowledge?

First 12 months of Poker Career --> Knowledge

Next 12 YEARS of poker career --> Patience

Patience is one of the very more valuable traits we can have at the poker table, BUT if we don't have any knowledge of the best ways to act and proceed then we won't know how to make the most of our patience.

It's also important to be patient when it comes to acquiring the knowledge because rushing it leads to nothing actually sticking

hope that helps & that you enjoy my answer to your question

One complements the other... Equivalent skills...

The Monkey · Mar 21, 2020

To me playing without both of these necessary tools is like doing any other Project without all the tools you need.

an artist cannot paint without canvas and paints. a nail is not functional without a hammer.

in my humble opinion the best poker recipe includes three ingredients: knowledge, patience, and luck. That is what makes this game so wonderful in my opinion is because it is a Perfect Blend of all of those things.

Hi mateObviously,I choose .....both.If there is a lack of any of them in your game ,you are lost.

Hello.
Both of these factors are important and necessary for success. A player who has excellent knowledge but has no patience is doomed to fail. A player who has the patience but lacks the necessary knowledge will also not succeed.

Correct.

Also...

You must know to be patient and why. Therefore, knowledge is more important.

Ricardo_lhp · Mar 21, 2020

I think the two go hand in hand in poker. Every beginner thinks he will start playing poker and win lots of money and the truth is not that, so you have to be patient so that the results can appear and also have patience on the tables to play the best spots. Now knowledge also adds a lot to your game, because if you don't study and just play, you wouldn't have any knowledge, just experience.

Lutring87 · Mar 22, 2020

I think 25% Knowledge 35% Patience and 40% Intuition, and of course good weather is the way to success.

nyeesssss · Mar 22, 2020

patiance isn't really a thing , sometimes you should be playing wide cause you are the chip leader and if u are "patiant" in that tournament you are playing bad and not exploiting as much as you could also there are spots where you should play extremely tight cause of icm and in those spots if u are not "patient" you are just bad. It's about knowledge patience doesn't exist in my opinion.

Patience is a very important component of poker for me , I often do not have enough patience to wait for a good card and I start playing a lot of hands, which eventually leads to a rapid loss of control over the game

fa1920 · Mar 22, 2020

Patience in poker is synonymous with knowledge, therefore your post does not make any sense.

slicheri93 · Mar 22, 2020

Think both play a huge part in poker,
Without knowledge you wont get far
and without patience you wont get far either

Think you need both to become, or be succesfull in poker

Otherwise were you would be without the other one?

partz · Mar 22, 2020

ofc when u have knowledge u know patience is part of the knowledge. u cant have knowledge without having patience

makisaa · Mar 22, 2020

Both are important and necessary for the game. You need patience and you gather knowledge by playing with patience!

igorneia · Mar 24, 2020

as the older ones say "patience is everything", but when I'm playing online poker sometimes you get that good hand that you bet everything on and it ends up going bad, right, I still haven't learned to deal with this kind of losing tilt after a bad of those.

Nathan Williams · Mar 24, 2020

I think they are both equally important. You need both to win.

Patience or knowledge
