What is most important in poker?

Karozi615 · Mar 7, 2014

experience over everything. Luck is not a relevant factor for a poker player, volume is. Professionalism is optional, if you can make more money being obnoxious, then do that instead.
Tony G. got Ralph Perry to "put all his money in with King Jack" by berating and harassing him. Tony is a great player and utilizes his talking abilities frequently.
The most important thing is experience and volume, with that comes that understanding of concepts like levels of thinking, game theory, and metagame. When you get good and move up the game starts to get really really complicated.

I think it's a combination of luck and mental toughness. When you make a perfect bet, lure somebody into a big pot and then they hit a flush on the river, it can be frustrating. But you've just got to accept it and move on. Those who go on tilt wind up allowing one bad hand to turn into a whole series of bad hands. Those who can tolerate a bad beat can mitigate the damage. Luck, of course, is also huge.

lol, both also need to study a lot about poker, strategy, style of play, and especially I think to be professional you have to have very good instincts ..

profesionalism and experience i mind between others things

I'd have to say that good luck is becoming more and more a factor. I just played probably the most conservative poker ever in a tourney and waited for pocket kings, 5 people pushed all their chips in and two of them had an ace. Sure enough an ace comes on the river to ruin it.

No matter how well you play people are going to catch unlikely cards, so luck would have to be the number 1 thing I think a poker player needs

sryImPro · Mar 21, 2014

self-control and patience....since luck is being very important factor of this game, you cant beat it without these two things

Skill, experience, tilt control, bankroll

Having the balls to play Anny hand. Unless you really suck at betting and bluffing of course

GGC2912 · Mar 24, 2014

A balance of Skill and Luck is most important......you can't substitute one for the other
Develop the skill so in situations when ur luck has run out, you can still pull forward with that skill of yours

Understanding psychology. Why? To control your emotions efficiently, and to control the power in the table.

brackdog · Mar 24, 2014

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentations of the women.

dakota4real · Mar 24, 2014

Hmm, good question.
Always need a bit of luck and the ability to control your emotions when in tilt mode. In other words, resisting going all in just because you lost the previous hand or two in a showdown.

n3rv · Mar 24, 2014

Going to showdown with the best hand...

I agree the more you play the the easier it is to discern what is going on at the table.
