Even I am much into online poker, I would choose Phil Ivey's ability to read opponents. Poker is much about understanding human behavior. Ivey is known for noticing even the smallest cues: changes in betting pace, nuances in body language or reactions hat are not in line with the situation. This makes him a dangerous opponent, as he knows the way how to adapt his game according to what he is observing.

It would also be Phil Ivey, he has a brilliant poker face and reads his opponents very well.

The key skills for successful poker play include the ability to read situations, make decisions based on probabilities, and control your emotions.Patience is definitely what has saved me the most money.

Eric Seidel has been at the top of poker pros for over 20 years...his longevity tells you something about his skill.

Poker isn’t just about the cards you’re dealt, it’s about how you play them. The real skill comes in knowing when to hold ‘em, when to fold ‘em, and when to bluff your way to victory.

Negreanu’s hand-reading ability.

He seems to instantly know ranges and what his opponents are capable of doing, which is insane. That skill alone turns marginal situations into big edges—without needing perfect cards or fancy bluffs.
