Why Do Many Players Lose Money Playing Too Many Hands?

[Nomad]

New players often feel bored folding repeatedly and start playing marginal hands. When hey do this repeatedly, losses add up. This is one of the mistakes I did as a newbie. When you are new, how do you manage to stay disciplined? How can a new player wait for stronger spots without feeling impatient at the table?

Many players lose money because they play too many weak hands and end up in difficult spots after the flop. I’d say it often comes from impatience or overconfidence.
