the most important thing in poker is to have iron patience and throw off even the strongest cards try to play only the strongest cards. If you have the iron patience you need in poker and the ability to feel your opponents, you will achieve a lot in poker without these qualities I think you won't get far in poker

For me, I think that the most important thing a poker player should have is success in choosing the right hand to bet on and coming out with minimal losses if the situation is bad.

I find it a little difficult to say the best quality. He has different qualities and different combinations of qualities that make up a great player. what is most important is relative. has mathematical knowledge, memory, pattern identification, insight, resilience, emotional control, being positive, committed, disciplined.

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
Do you play live more often than online?
If so, how much did you manage to earn thanks to the "stone face"?

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.

My greatest asset in playing Poker is "Patience" I am never in a hurry to get Rich Quick as I am already comfortably well off, and don't need to work any more. My mortgage is paid off. my bills and living expenses are all taken care of by my substantial private pension, So any money I make playing Poker is not really needed.
I have always had the attitude when it comes to gambling, If you cannot afford to Burn the money you intend to Gamble with, You certainly cannot afford to lose it, So why risk it?
A day at the Races, or a Night in the Casino is Great Fun! But if you lose more money than you can afford to lose, there is no fun in that. Gambling with Scared Money only gives you more to worry about, and if you have money problems, Gambling is not the way to fix them.

When the Fun Stops, STOP! (makes sense)

Playing poker is within everyone's reach, but practicing the profession professionally is a real commitment. This requires in-depth knowledge of the rules of the game, the best strategies and, above all, diligent training.

Evaluate your starting hand, use raising tactics, intelligent bets, and manage your bankroll (cash flow)... Sometimes, long practice is not enough to master the most advanced techniques. This is why you can acquire this knowledge by reading dedicated books and websites or by signing up for courses with pro players.

In addition to having the theory in mind, it is essential to put it into practice during your games. To become a professional poker player, you will need to train as much as possible in online poker rooms or casinos. You will test your ability to defeat your opponents and be able to refine your techniques in preparation for tournaments.

Furthermore, to excel in this area, certain qualities seem essential. You will need to demonstrate:

of perseverance and patience, during long hours of training or tournaments.

a capacity for in-depth analysis, but also for adaptation to be able to evaluate the best strategies to follow according to the evolution of the game.

good emotional management and an imperturbable mind, to stay focused and not let yourself be destabilized by your opponents.

a good balance between boldness and wisdom, so as not to take unnecessary risks and know how to evaluate your game.

I believe that the essential quality that every poker player must have is concentration. because when we are concentrated we can choose and think better about our moves and thus make a profit most of the time.

I would say the one thing that will make the largest difference over the long run is your mental game.


Everyone in the game will face bad beats and gross suck outs. Most people let the way they feel about these bad beats determine how they are going to play afterwards. If you're able to maintain your B-Game while other players are dropping down to their D-Game and F-Game due to the bad beats they had you're going to take lots of their money in the long run.

patience and concentration for me are the main ones, you must necessarily manage these two aspects in an excellent way so that the knowledge you have can be exploited 100% and that will always give you peace of mind regardless of the result.

Having control over your emotions so that you make the best decisions. This is especially important in offline poker games, so that you do not give any clues as to what cards you have.
