Poker isn't just about luck discipline patient and reading your opponent make the biggest difference

[nixblg5r]

facts bro, patience is key ? learned this the hard way lol

[ravellia]

fold bad hands fast saves more chips than buffing

Reading your opponent is something that clicked for me when I stopped string at my own cards and started watching bet sizes instead. I lost so many pots early on because I missed the simple tell of someone suddenly min raising after playing passively for ten hands.

dont forget to pay atention to stack sizes it chages how everyone plays the same hand

[lilyra]

do you focus more on watching their eyes or their hands?

[luxesse]

People sleep on discipline but it is the hardest one to keep sharp. I can read a player perfectly and still call a river bet I know I am beat just because I am bored.

lost a huge pot once by not trusting my read quick enough

Discipline is the silent kiiller for me, I keep punting my stack the second I get impatient after folding for ten minutes.

[wrenmia]

patient doesnt mean just folding, for me it was sittng on a monster for what felt like forever while the table maniac just kept firing into me because i checked twice in a row to let him hang himself

[Tycirki93]

I started folding any hand worse than jacks from early position unless the table is super passive, saved me so many chips over a session. Sounds tight but at low stakes nobody exploits you for it anyway.

Patience can be a trap though if you never push back and just let aggressive players run you over at every pot.
