I keep reading threads and it seems like people do not realize that patience is a key virtue of any winning poker player. The same goes for when I am watching others as I play. I understand recreational players wanting to get some exciting plays in while they have a limited time, but not by playing every hand. The same goes for people talking about the want to go all in because it is a waste of time to play freerolls if they are not guaranteed money.
Now, I understand getting bored or tired of playing, but patience is necessary if you want to be stable. I have mental issues and poker has helped me hone my ability to be patient in the time I have been back to it. I have even started getting in the money on a far more regular basis because of it. This is probably bragging, but I have moneyed in 4 freerolls on ACR in a day because I was not playing silly hands and being aggressive at the right spots.
So, if someone who has brain damage that causes him to exhibit multiple mental disorders can be patient and get constant, why aren’t you folks?:D
