It's never too late to be patient

Last night, I played too many hands, and got impatient at last. On hand 104, I went all in with a pair of queens, and lost the remainder of my stack ($13,129) to a two pair. It's important to remember that it's never too late to be patient. This is all too easy to say, and all too difficult to do. Of course I would never have bet this much money on a pair of queens on hand 1. This leads me to yet another incarnation of my recurring epiphany about the secret of poker. Drumroll, please! The secret of poker is to play every hand as if it's your first hand of the night.
