Time available, bankroll and a successful bankroll management, tons of discipline, the skill of learning (to be able to learn IS a skill), right mindset or readiness to work on your mindset and psyche, honesty with oneself.

Good poker mental game (to be able to keep your emotions in control in losing and even winning streaks so you can play close to your A game for longer periods of time throughout your sessions)

I believe that in addition to luck, to achieve success in poker, it is necessary to develop solid strategic skills. This includes a deep understanding of odds, the ability to read and interpret opponents' behavior, and consistent game discipline. Constant study of the game, practice and the ability to adapt to different situations are essential. In addition to proper bankroll management and emotional control, they are key to dealing with game variations. Poker is an intellectual challenge that goes beyond luck, requiring a skill set and dedication to become a winning player.

Some music and a few snacks help to ease the long hours of playing :)

Play daily, seek constant knowledge, be very calm, avoid revenge on those who stole some chips, wait for the right moment or good cards

I think it all depends on what makes you play poker? What's the real reason? Do you play for pleasure? Leisure? Just as a pastime? A lucrative hobby? Anyway... To analyze what is necessary, the ideal was to understand what drives you to play. I'm not lucky and yet I insist on playing kkkk. Therefore, I believe that the luck factor is not predominant LOL.

A secret little magical cosmic squirrel that sits on your shoulder and whispers to you very helpful little pep-talks etc. at opportune and key moments!

People would likely complain about this apparent unfair advantage but fortunately it's a cosmic squirrel so therefore has the ability to remain invisible and unheard to everyone else but me...

As long as I don't forget myself and foolishly mention the little scamp to anyone in a momentary oversight, it should all be fine! :unsure:

Balance your emotions during the ups and downs of the tournament, don't fall into that 'tilt moment', assess the type of opponent, don't play in the same pattern of plays throughout the tournament, but mix up your type of game to confuse your opponents.
