Zen and the Art of Poker

As you may have guessed my poker mindset has sucked a bit lately. For one reason or another short term varaince has been affecting my play but I have now identified some problem areas of the mental kind and am working on fixing them.

I have also started reading Zen and the Art of Poker and am only 12 pages in so far but it already looks like it will be worth the read.

I like this quote:

"How is patience translated in poker terms? For the most part, the answer can be summed up in a single word: folding."

This is very true and people will probably say that for the most part they are patient because they play well pre flop and fold a lot, however my problem lately has been not showing enough patience in post flop situations.
