The answer is no.

Only by a miracle can you win any game with a fragile mind.

Even with the best strategy, without a solid and structured emotional structure, you will not be a profitable player.

What do you think about this?

poker is influenced by skill and the ability to control your stress, endurance. If you have such qualities and a little bit of your logic and intelligence, you will be able to play plus in low-limit tournaments at a high level, you need more skill

Again, all I can say is that the learned (logical) things, the quick recognition of situations that a good (winning) player can have, bring you closer to winning than someone who doesn't have these! Unfortunately, the other things are no longer up to us! Frequent strong hands and of course luck! If all 3 factors are at our disposal, then it is possible to win! However, if any one is missing, there is usually a failure... (most of the time)...

in the short term anyone may come out ahead , through a run of strong starting hands and/or lucky runouts with poor ones . i see it happen almost every day in freerolls . long term the patient , disciplined , insightful types do much better .

the mind must be totally concentrated, a fragile one is useless, it only helps to go slow and you do not reach the goal

Yes, it is even possible most of the time is what you see. (in general)
It doesn't take half a brain to win at poker... if things work out for you.

In the long term it obviously tends to favor players with a more 'firm' and stabilized mentality, but just look at the results of the tournaments and then see how these players performed.

But it's very difficult to generalize because the poker universe is huge...

You can win a couple of tournaments, but in the long run you need to have a good poker mentality to be a winner player.

Definitely not.... moreover, mental strength is a fundamental pillar in the search for success in poker... poker is a game of mathematical probabilities where even with hands as strong as AA, KK sometimes you will lose and if you don't you have a strong mentality you will break...

to be honest, you can even win but it won't be with consistency bad beat, because with a fragile mind if you take one, you end up stressing yourself and betting everything on a not so good card

Calculating the mind is everything in any sport. Maintaining a strong mind can achieve good results in all aspects of life and obviously also in poker.

The game of poker involves many aspects, you will have good results the better you are prepared to master those aspects, having fragility in one or more will always make you very vulnerable at the poker tables

Every hand can be won with luck, although to be truly successful you must know how to play with a winning mind.

It depends if you want to win one tourney or win permanently. Cause you can win one tourney in any condition if the luck is yours )

As my brother @kunkgreen says, he is right that the poker universe is for everything.
I think that playing MTT to be profitable you have to have not only a winning mentality, but also the intelligence to know how to manage your time for poker, make wise decisions and study the game, etc.
In cash tables it is different. You can find yourself with a super fragile mind and money. That he is not interested in playing with any card for the mere fact of going lucky. In other words, as if he were playing in a slot.
But in general, the strong and winning mind always triumphs

I think someone with a fragile mind is way more inclined to tilting or having emotional burst which will then ruin their game.
And as it is inevitable to face a bad beat or simply make a wrong decision while playing, they will just go on tilt and waste their money.
On the short run they might get lucky and then don't have to deal with the emotional instability but sooner or later this luck will run out.

I think that in poker there is lady luck, which is much stronger than a strong mind.
