I will always preach this order of priorities:
1 = most

1) BRM
2) Game selection (9-man cash game is undeniably the optimal sorry for Americans, they don't have this option so optimal for them becomes the 6-man CG)
3) Emotional health
4) Playstyle analysis if live / HUD stats if online
5) poker site selection or Casino selection if live (including player pool fish-to-shark ratio as well as rake, security, customer support etc etc) MUST CHOOSE THE POKERSTARS IF NOT IN USA/AUS/SHARIA/COLOMBIA??????? YES! :D
6) Mental alertness (AKA energy levels)
7) Hand odds

People study hand odds but they don't realize that's just the basic info to know.

Agree with #1 BRM
However:
2. For me is Mental Alertness / Health - I can play any game I know well, IF I am fully awake, full of energy, no drugs or alcohol, no sickness, etc...

3. Game selection - Online I play on Ignition Casino from the USA, they offer 9-man, 6-man, or head to head for Holdem and Omaha

4. Table analysis - What are my opponents doing that I can exploit?

Thanks for feeling sorry for us regarding a disadvantage you invented.
I reciprocally feel sorry for all the people in Britain who have to fear being eaten by saber-toothed tigers.

That is both true, and a non-sequitur.

Peaches are delicious.

Mentioning Ignition specifically makes me think perhaps you have invented an idea now that only Ignition has 9-handed cash in the USA? ACR, BOL, and Intertops do also, as do other sites that serve the US.

If you are bad at using HUD or getting 'deep reads' on people that you can abuse in hands where you've played like 100 vs them rather than just 8 hands then sure like it.

If you get better reads of people the longer you are vs them, you are not only a better player than the kind who doesn't snowball reads but you are going to enjoy the game more.
