Patience: The Most Underrated Poker Skill

[Bwess1]

A lot of players focus on big bluffs and lucky hands, but I think patience wins more in the long run. Folding weak hands, waiting for the right spots, and staying disciplined can make a huge difference over time. Do you think patience is more important than aggression in poker, or is finding the right balance the real key?

Of course, you need to strike a balance and show aggression when it's appropriate.

I do better when I'm more focused on my good hands.

You're right, but there are also many situations where you have to play hands that aren't very strong if that's what GTO recommends. Still, patience is crucial and should depend on how your opponents are playing. If you notice they're being overly aggressive, sometimes the best approach is to wait for a strong hand and then capitalize by taking a big portion of their stack

Це залежить від багатьох факторів, зокрема від позицій, в яких ви знаходитесь зі своєю рукою. Я не вмію блефувати; я граю лише тоді, коли відчуваю, що в мене найкраща рука на дошці.
