The biggest secret in online poker

Of all the tips we have received over the years by professional players of a particular stands out: Stay at online poker patience! Everything depends on patience and this factor will decide in the end, whether you will make in your online play money or not. 
It is normal that sometimes you do not get good cards for weeks, and a good poker player learns to cope. It is well known that you can lose a lot of money if you play too high above your limit. If you learn not to play with patience, you can go even faster broke.

Professional poker players are extremely patient 

You will not find a professional poker player who is impatient, because poker is a game where you think the long term. Luck in poker is important, of course, to conclude a profit. But the best players know that the going in poker like the stock market: There are highs and there are lows, but if you have a good plan, it pays to remain stable and play evenly.


Some poker strategists calculate that it can take an average of 1,400 hours before you can expect a profit. Although this seems like an exaggeration, but you should consider his record in poker but monthly. If you play well and consistently, each month you end up with a profit. 
You can also sometimes have a bad streak and lose for a month. If you lose, but month after month, you should ask yourself whether you might have a problem with your patience.

There are two types of impatience:

To high-stakes card at ruinous
Play too many hands

To high-stakes card at ruinous 

Even if you only play the best hands, you can be an impatient player. This would be the case if you put too much money to "ruinous" leaves. Say, for example, increase three kings and get three callers. They see an ace hit the flop and still make a bet. If you increase further, do so in the knowledge that you are hit with high probability. Good players know that you have to lay those cards. Impatient players will not realize that their hand is ruinous and play it more than it would be the top sheet.

While you want to play strong with good hands on, you never want to make bets when you are already folded. Mess up your flop with Ace-King ... encourage you not to! Continue to fight another day.


Play too many hands 

Another sign of impatience, if you play too many hands. While it can be boring for hours without any action on your computer screen to stare. Therefore, some people relax tired, her game up and begin to "loose" (loosely) to play. At this moment it is easier to click on the call button as the game to follow closely.

The best advice I can give you fatigue and boredom in long poker sessions to fight for is to play only if you're paying attention. This is the best defense against players that add new and fresh energy. If you do not, you quickly lose the motivation to give your best poker game. Then you begin to hope for happiness and that is fatal. Learn to log out or leave the casino when you realize that you are tired and inattentive. This is an easy weapon to limit losses.
