What do you think are the most important factors for poker success?

I think the 2 most important factors are:
1. Table/Game selection
2. Reviewing your poker hands

1. Focus
2. Accurate knowledge about ranges, equity and odds

the goal is to find the most inept opponents, thus the table selection

That's another area my friend doesn't quite get. Now we usually don't have the luxury of picking a table in live play because we are either playing a tourney or there is just such a short selection of cash tables where we are at. Even with that, the first thing I do when sitting down is start figuring out who I want to be in hand with and who I don't. I will always ask my friend what his prehand read on player is and he never answers. I assume he doesn't know. If he doesn't know he's not paying attention and should not be playing. Some will say they will play anybody - that's fine, but you should know who the weakest and strongest opponents are (and everywhere in-between) at your table. If not, you are just playing your cards and not doing what you can to eliminate as much of the luck factor as you can.

Above all else, in my opinion is the willingness to learn. Seeing as poker isn't something you're going to be amazing at the first time you learn the rules, and it's an ever-evolving game, being able to recognize what's working and what's not.

But before that you must enjoy the game itself, and not take it too seriously.

Be patient,Not to play in a bad emotional state,And of course, a little luck does not hurt!

Absolutely agree with you ...

For MTT it is luck for cash games it is selecting donkeys and fish

Ebsonip · Dec 6, 2017

The most important factor is patience.

deyvsonflp · Dec 6, 2017

Patience and knowing how to take advantage of the right opportunities.

Having a player choose my table because they make a conscious decision, a decision of my game is a flake?

Can the flake hustle the table selector in a way as the table selector gives and takes action from said flake?

This without knowing they perhaps are being hustled?

This applies to cash games, however, this flake is making a decision of this thread is based on cash table selection?

In no particular order

1) Game selection
2) Mental stability
3) BRM
4) Putting in the effort to study and grind

I think for a more successful poker game you must first learn to control their emotions.

offensive 2-7, all-in preflop, fullhouse on the flop, turn roll. )))

1. Discipline

This is to me 100% correct!

I feel the biggest hurdle for most poker players is learning to fold big hands or for the even newer player folding a hand that looks good but had bad odds. Which of course comes under discipline.

80% luck, 10% patience, 10% skills
