the most important thing in poker is to have iron patience and throw off even the strongest cards try to play only the strongest cards.

My greatest asset in playing Poker is "Patience" I am never in a hurry to get Rich Quick as I am already comfortably well off, and don't need to work any more. My mortgage is paid off. my bills and living expenses are all taken care of by my substantial private pension, So any money I make playing Poker is not really needed.

A day at the Races, or a Night in the Casino is Great Fun! But if you lose more money than you can afford to lose, there is no fun in that. Gambling with Scared Money only gives you more to worry about, and if you have money problems, Gambling is not the way to fix them.
When the Fun Stops, STOP! (makes sense)

There are many of these qualities and they are all important for a successful poker game.
I would say the one thing that will make the largest difference over the long run is your mental game.
Everyone in the game will face bad beats and gross suck outs. Most people let the way they feel about these bad beats determine how they are going to play afterwards. If you're able to maintain your B-Game while other players are dropping down to their D-Game and F-Game due to the bad beats they had you're going to take lots of their money in the long run.

Having control over your emotions so that you make the best decisions. This is especially important in offline poker games, so that you do not give any clues as to what cards you have.
