Last night, I played with commendable patience for over two and a half hours. My stack reached a peak of nearly $60K, but then slowly descended back towards its starting level of $40K. On hand 78, for some reason I lost patience, and went all in on a pair of kings. I'd been dealt a big slick, and the board never paired. I lost to a jack high flush. Felt city.
This occurrence makes me wonder whether patience is illusory. Maybe patience is a gossamer thread, waiting for just that extra little bit of annoyance to snap it in twain. I hope I'm wrong about that. I do know that you need to have guts to succeed in poker, but you also need not to be stupid. Last night, on the final hand, I evinced both guts and stupidity. Back to the drawing board!
