Pros and Cons of Patient Play

[taptop]

If you’re in the pot with a 7-4 and you’re not on the big blind, it’s likely you’ve been impatient. But don’t despair – make up for your impulsiveness with extra discipline across the rest of the hand.

When you do find yourself in a rut, remember that you can control every aspect of your own game. You can make good decisions as little or as often as you like. Many of your opponents won’t have the discipline or patience that you have. They’ll draw out on you with hands they shouldn’t even be in the game with. Know when to hold ‘em. Know when to fold ‘em. It WORKS. Show a little patience and you might see a big improvement in your poker pot balance.
