A mistake made preflop can turn into a massive loss postflop.
Preflop discipline is not boring — it’s protective.
This is why tight, structured play beats loose curiosity in the long run.

Discipline and the ability to play your hands properly are decisive factors of success.
Strong players don’t enter pots “just to see a flop.”
They enter with intention.

If you don’t understand why you’re betting — you shouldn’t be betting.
Every bet must have a purpose:
value, protection, bluff, or pressure on a range.
A bet without a purpose is a gift to your opponent.

You should bet when your opponent still has hope — not when hope is already gone.
That’s why the turn is often the most important street.

Patience is a powerful weapon against those who don’t know how to wait.
Most of the time, I stay out of hands and observe.
I enter only when I clearly have an advantage.


The desire to “find out the truth.”
Curiosity is one of the most expensive emotions in poker.
“Aren’t they bluffing? I need to check.”
This thought has destroyed more bankrolls than bad beats ever did.

In poker, the winner is not the one who is right more often —
but the one who breaks less often.
Mentally.
Emotionally.
Disciplinarily.

Share with me your insigts.
I really love insights.
New discoveries give me great pleasure 🤤

Everything you described is literally true, word for word.
Discipline, patience, psychological balance – all of these things directly influence the results. The only thing I would add is another factor: experience. Experience can only be gained when you play patiently, because without patience, a game of poker will quickly turn into a game of bingo, and thus end in nothing.

Thank you.

You also touched on a very important topic — experience👏👏👏

As Confucius said:
“One gram of personal experience is worth a ton of other people’s advice.”

Personal experience creates knowledge.
Over time, that knowledge becomes embedded in the subconscious and turns into a conscious emotion.
And emotion is an inner guide that, through its signals, helps us make decisions appropriate to the situation.

Since childhood, I have admired and respected intelligent, wise people.
And as I grew older, I realized that wisdom has only one true source — experience.

What we call intuition is, in fact, knowledge born from experience.
And the more experienced a person is, the sharper their intuition becomes — the higher their emotional intelligence.

The most important thing is to understand one simple truth:
no matter how much you read about water, you will never learn how to swim.
To truly learn, you have to step into the water and get wet.

“When you pray for rain, be ready to walk through puddles.”
(The Equalizer)

If you want to play well, you must go and play.
Make mistakes.
Lose.
Feel the pain.
Extract experience.
And become better.

P.S

Судя по твоему никнейму,ты житель одной из славянских стран.
Спасибо вновь брат.
Ты написал действительно мощные слова🤝

Patience in poker means folding during tough times, waiting for better situations, and playing after losses. It's a skill in the game that's absolutely essential. Discipline is what happens away from the table.When you're not getting playable hands, don't show any irritation or dissatisfaction with the situation, because your opponents may notice, which could seriously damage your fold equity.
