I think patience is a big part of playing poker. One of the things I have done lately is not get too excited when I get good hole cards. They are just 2 live cards and the outcome remains to be seen. Don't get me wrong, it is nice to see, but hardly a guarantee I will come out ahead. I remind myself there may be better spots to pick my battles and a sense to know when I am ahead. I am improving, but have a long way to go yet.
