Patience: A Key Skill in Poker

Many players lose chips because they become impatient and force action. Waiting for profitable situations is often more effective than constantly looking for opportunities to play.

I completely agree. One of the biggest leaks in poker is getting bored and trying to force the action. I've lost chips many times by playing marginal hands simply because I hadn't seen a good spot for a while. Patience may not be exciting, but it usually pays off in the long run.

You are right. Our patience while playing will directly affect our results. The more patient we are, the better our chances are of making poker a profitable business.
