For me, patience always comes first. I have repeatedly found that patience in this game is rewarding. So if I do not have the patience and I realize it, I just stop playing.

I think that the most important thing in poker is how you manage your money. If you are not careful about this, especially if you are at the beginning of this game, you will have a bad opinion about poker. For beginners, my advice is not to throw money but to study the game first

Understanding the theory.

Everyone has an image at the table. Their image is their range of hands as a function of their stack size, position, sequence of bets, personality, play-style, pot size.

All of these properties characterize the state, all the information necessary to make optimal decision making.

many beginners ask the question: what is the main thing in poker? There is no one exact answer, since each player has his own concepts in the game, it is important for someone to enjoy and adrenaline, and for you what is most important in poker

For me, the most important thing in poker is patience, sometimes I miss it very much

 

[neptun1914]

If you mean why people play poker - it is different for everybody. Some like the fun, other run for the money and third group are pure gamblers. For me it is hobby so i like the fun and the few dollars that i get sometimes are nice addition.

If you mean what is most important to be successful - well for me at least these two are essential:
1. Discipline and devotion so that you constantly learn and improve your game.
2. Bankroll management so that you do not get bankrupt.

 

[Vlad Nesterenko]
