Yes, totally agree. Sometimes I'll drive to I-35 and get into traffic just to test my patience. Waiting in line at the dollar store can be a test in advanced patience... Around here, at least. 😣
Master patience and rake in the big pots. Wasn't that Mikey's strategy, to rake in one big pot an hour? Of course if you sit there and wait on a really nice hand nobody is going to wanna get involved w/you. Mix it up a little bit but don't go crazy or anything, unless you flop a set, of course. 🤑

To play poker and be among the best, one of the keys is patience and if you don't have it then you are useless for poker.

Observe the game of your opponents and identify the fish and sharks... and very important always keep in mind your position at the table.

Yes, because you need selfcontrol when you have bad beats. And wait the right hand of course.

You can't win poker without patience. So patience, patience and more patience.

Perhaps the most difficult thing is to make the most of each hand, it depends on your level that depends on your ability to read your opponent.

Yes, it does teach patience over a long stretch of time. Very rarely can you get a run where you don’t fold or lose hands.

Play it easy, wait for the right hand, don't raise on impulse, what else?...
Then the blinds will eat you up. :ROFLMAO: And everyone will fold when you get a good card. ;) So I would suggest to play more out of the box and individualize each player. Statistics solve a lot of problems in poker. It is the main tool to win! :unsure:

It can be good for patience training as long as you are using it deliberately for that purpose. If not and you are not a patient person then it probably won't help.

Patience during the game is very important. You really have to wait for the right tabs.

Poker teaches you to improve your patience, improve your breathing, improve your concentration in the long term, it's a great mental sport that helps you with other aspects of life.

I agree with you, patience is essential, and as mine has been at zero in recent months, I have rarely played.

Patience in poker is key elements to actually winning and plays a critical role in capitalizing on opportunities and minimizing risks. Jumping into every hand and playing aggressively may be tempting. But patience teaches players the value of waiting for favorable circumstances. There are some tips to improve patience;
Meditation and maturity. Diet, exercise, sleep. Cleaning your room and getting a haircut.
