Why poker feels so boring against good players?

From your nickname and the way you play, we can assume that you are quite anxious!

Patience is the key in poker, there is no way around it if you want to improve!

You need to find ways to distract yourself while playing... (well... it works for me, to take your mind off the game, at least when making simple decisions).

Playing multiple games should also help you to get less bored.

I haven't played live poker for many years but I think if I tried to play nowadays, I would die of boredom.

Try doing other activities during your session like studying, watching gossip, the news, playing puzzles... It works for me, maybe it can work for you!

The tournament will not end sooner just because you want it to go quicker... so having more patience, will it damage you or help you with poker and all the other things in life?

Add more tables at same time so that you invest more time thinking about your plays. If a tournament takes like 3 to 4 hours to you to reach a FT, do not be anxious and play your best then you can reach there.

I took more than some years to be able to reach like 2 to 3 FTs in the same day and patience is key to it!

Think about it: the time will pass the same way, whether you are patient or not...
