Most important trait in poker

Yes, reading is a good point. But what about the difference between online poker and live poker?

If you play online poker and want to be successful, do you really need all the technical help, like player analysis programs, rank help, play many tables, or can you grow your bankroll with a "simple" game?

Online gambling is more profitable than playing live, because in online gambling you can play at several tables at the same time and with a good volume of play you can control the variance a little more than when playing live, there are differences when you play live you must have more patience than playing online since you will not play the same amount of hands that you will play online.

Of course, when playing online you may be at a disadvantage when you face your opponents the REG regulars since many use help systems to keep statistics and play with probabilities based on the numbers. We call this game GTO the theory of the optimal game based on statistics. .

You will need a help system when you become REG a regular of the type of tournament you play, in the meantime if you are just an amateur it is not necessary to start, you should study the ABC of Poker to start later with time if you need a statistics system so as not to be at a disadvantage.

Hey everyone,

in poker there are so many advices, strategies, watching Live-play, reading books and so on.

But if you could use only one special trait / skill to go through a tournament or a cash game, what would it be?

Would it be discipline, mathematic skills, patience, courage or even self-confidence?

I‘m excited to hear you answers.

Best regards,

Joe

Yes, i agree with that. But let‘s say you want to become a great live poker player one day. Do you think nowadays it‘s impossible to reach that aim without technical help in online poker?

I mean players like Daniel Negreanu or Phil Hellmuth didn‘t had this possibilities and played with the help of „human skills“ and made their way. So all in all my question is: Is it impossible nowadays to start online poker and become a good live live poker player without having all this tools in online poker?
