Many newcomers ask the question: what is the main thing in poker? There is no one exact answer, because for each player there are their main concepts in the game.
To be honest, for me the most important thing is development. Communication, pleasure) What is the most important for you?

The most important thing in poker is an honest victory, with equal conditions! Only in the case of equality, the winner is worthy of being called the best):)

The main thing for me is just to always keep learning/researching, try learn from mistakes and not get over confident when I'm winning.

There are three main factors :
first of all - patience;
secondly - concentration;
and good mood - thirdly.
I am sure, that to be a successful player you need to have all three factors.

For me, the main thing in poker is to be concentrated on any game, have patience for victory, and in some cases I need luck, but also tries to win money of course, everyone has their own concept!

Concentration, poker for me helps in keeping concentration and making decisions not only on the table but also in people's lives. keep the cold head and the most important poker for me.

Pretty vague question. The main thing evolves with your level. At first its probably somethimg simple like learning rankings of hands, probability of making them. Then it becomes basic strategy, playing in position etc.

For me the "main thing" at the moment in my game, is probably my "% of hands won at showdown".

I have a high % of hands won without showdown due to my aggression (usually 25%ish of all hands, 6-max cash) but i find that usually the more pots won without showdown = less pots won at showdown - this is due to my bluff frequency being high and getting called down occasionally given how often i bluff or semi bluff.

Reducing bluffing increases pots won at showdown, ergo reduces number of pots won without showdown. So i need to hit the sweet spot to stay aggressive, but also win over 50% showdowns.

WIN

for me and im no pro, but its putting yourself in the best possible situation to win. if its learning how someone bets, or finding a pattern. but i do way better playing poker at a table than i do online. i cant really get a feel for the players. i know thats crazy right

The main thing in poker is patience. And the ability to learn from mistakes (better than other people).

For me, an important thing in poker is seriousness, understanding, patience and respect. I know I'm hard to do, but if you are not ordered, you will not be able to make money from poker. :)

Knowing the math alone can boost your success a fair bit.
