I agree that position is the most important starting factor in poker. Doyle Brunson says he would win every session without looking at his cards if he got to always be on the button.

Mental endurance. You gotta have it, and you havee to believe in your game. It's often way too easy to tilt early or late and let that destroy the remainder of your game.

in poker, the main thing is attention and patience. I think good luck, good cards do not play the main role. If you carefully study your opponents, you can win with bad cards, and if you play without thinking, you will lose with AA too

I believe that you are right. The most important thing preflop is your position. Further on the importance follows the strength of your opponent. The game after the flop depends on it.

The most important thing in poker?

I would say the most important thing in poker is patience and the ability to not tilt. Taking the time to learn your opponents and their tendencies. And when things aren't going your way to stay focused and remain composed.

bankroll management is by far the most important thing in poker. you can be the best player in the world, and go on a downswing and run ice cold and if you play outside your roll, you will go busto everytime,

In online poker the most important thing is that the variance plays in your favor, and always be the one who sends the bets. Playing passive guarantees you failure, who does not seek to win is already defeated.

On any given hand, luck is most important.

Yes, position is very important but luck trumps everything.

A good luck card vs. a bad luck card in a crucial situation will mean the difference between winning and losing.

My Opinion

Indeed there are many important things in poker. But in my opinion I think being prepared for downswings and knowing how to treat them is the most important thing.

See most players blame the circumstances when they lose (including me lol).
But we can tell if a player is good or not until we see how he treats his downswings. This is where the best differ from the rest.

The most important thing to know who your opponent is and which table..based on this you can play even without a hand in certain situations and out of position

I read the first golden rule in poker somewhere, you need to increase the size of your bank as much as possible when you win; minimize your losses in the bank when you lose. All the rest of the rules follow from this rule.

The most important thing in poker is to control your emotions, stop in time, cold calculation. A position - in the game.

There are many things that you need in this game, and yes understanding position is part of it.

But the portion of understanding that I would take over your table position any day of the week would be to know if my hand is good or not, you can have your table position to your heart’s desire ….. lol……as long as I can keep my knowledge that you’re holding cannot defeat my hand.

yes your position is one of the important points in poker for example: if you are BB most of the time 98% you can receive AA that you do not win in online poker yet I do not know why this happens.
