Both A), B) and D), since its pretty much impossible to be succesfull in poker without both patience, emotional control and bankroll management. C) is actually bad advice in my opinion, since it runs the risk of becoming good at poker theory but not at actually playing it.

Let's say you need all of these to be successful. I would put them in order at the beginning: C, A, D, B

Well, that’s the million-dollar question. What I can tell you is that this is an activity requiring both time and talent to achieve the desired results. Start by playing freerolls; if you find you enjoy it, make a deposit and play satellites with buy-ins of $0.50, $1, $2, or $3—depending on the poker site. You’ll earn tickets ranging from $5 to $22, allowing you to play and win good prizes. It’s a journey of discovery, and whether you get results depends on your talent. One piece of advice: don't keep risking your money by making deposit after deposit; if that's the case, you're better off investing your money in something else.

I'd choose C) Study more than you play. A solid understanding of strategy, bankroll management, and mental discipline will save you from many costly mistakes. The more you learn away from the tables, the better your decisions will be when you're actually playing

Poker is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't chase losses, don't force big plays, and don't expect instant success. Focus on making good decisions, keep learning, and let the results come over time.
Patience is one of the biggest edges a poker player can have.

A, B and D, in that order. Studying is important, but I wouldn't say that you actually have to spend more time. Studying between sessions is good enough to improve.

ps: you can create a poll, maybe is more efficient to see the conclusion.

Its easy to mess up things in poker & many things can go haywire. My advice is simply to just invest what you can afford to loose & have fun. :)
