"I know that there are players out there who are consistently winning, and make a sizable living playing poker."

Phil Ivey say's that only a very small percentage of poker players make a living out of it ..

"My questions to everyone are:  What does it take to build one’s skills as a poker player?"

Phil Ivey says just playing the game an attain information from it..  I think he also says something about learning the basics of pot odds ect ect.. also for reading and if you really want to get better faster with just playing allot, I would read "The theory of poker" By David sklansky .. Use it as a reference book also ... But make sure after you have read this book that you don't apply it to play money cause you won't be able to make sense of the book lol.. I'm not knocking play money poker cause every game is different and you can get really good at any variation of poker and play money poker is just another kind of poker .. I personally can play play money poker very well and it has helped me play against aggressive players on real live money tables without getting run over :)

"What types of behaviours help prevent a gambling problem when it comes to poker?"

Bankroll management plan and simple.. You can add that good excursive healthy diet and making sure you spend more than half your time with family and friends outside of poker ..
