I put together three good hands in a row, waited... and finally collected a monstrous result out of 99. It's hard to wait, but when it pays off, it's an incredible feeling

Yeah, but that strategy doesn’t always work. Sometimes you wait forever for a good hand, and when it finally comes, it gets cracked by some garbage or even a weaker hand. Sometimes you just have to bluff to stay afloat

The only thing I disagree with is the term "sometimes," because patience in poker is a constant, so you could rephrase the statement: patience is always fundamental in poker.

The funniest thing is that I love poker and I'm the most impatient person alive, which actually helps me work on that. On the other hand, I get really tilted when I miss winning hands by not playing them (I've worked a lot on that). But there's also the variable: in poker, you have good streaks as well as bad ones,
just like in life.

By the way, yes, I still can't stay calm when I'm not playing the hand and there's a nuts on the board from the flop. And yes, I often lose my focus and my game plan because of that. :confused:

Sometimes? I would say that poker is a constant test of patience, in every aspect and sense.

There's no doubt that more patient players earn more money playing poker over the long term than their competitors.
