The most essential quality of a poker player?

[machinm19]

I agree with those who have said Patience. You could be the greatest player ever but without patience it would all be wasted. It takes years to develop the kind of patience needed at the top level IMO.

I agree with many of the comments that say that patience is the quality that helps you be successful in poker.

I think that mathematical and psychological abilities are important, it is important not only to count cards, but also to be able to read your opponent, and it is important to work not only on the game, but also on yourself

 

[Achrarock]

The most essential quality of a poker player is a combination of strategic thinking and the ability to read opponents, known as "poker face" or emotional control.

I believe that persistence because it's not the first time that you will win every game, but with a lot of practice and dedication

 

[Rachidao]

Patience is the key.

T The best quality is to be calm and resilient. For example, I have difficulty dealing with anger when I lose to low hands, especially when I lose to a river card.

Patience and avoiding tilting

 

[s0ftdumps]

For example, for me... The best quality of a player is a stone face which allows me to be strong in poker for a long time

doesn't help much in online. Do you find quick and slow reactions can impact online play?

[ficticius]

I believe that serenity, patience and coolness are the best qualities

 

[Gilead]

I think that discipline is a quality that a professional poker player must have to be able to control their emotions and get ahead of bad moments and streaks and thus be able to have their great victories.
