there are many factors in poker that are important for some players and others who minimize these factors and think that another factor is more important than the previous one, for example I think that experience is better than luck, that knowing how to play is better than the odds , that knowing your opponent is more important than the intuition you feel for how the opponent is playing. And for you, what is the most important thing in poker?

Perhaps most important to me is the ability to analyze my game and learn from mistakes. I believe that introspection is the key to developing and improving my skills.

Poker

I would say flow of the game. Integrity and fairness of the game. I like a challenge and I love to gain insight from those top tier players of the game. Be able to tell who really knows how to play the game vs the weekend warriors and hoping to learn from them.

With the little experience I have, I think being able to read your opponent is crucial to winning. You can have 72os and win if you know how to read the other player.

To have fun probably, because I can read the cards and the table pretty easy now so its about getting to see more cards and having fun getting beat or giving some beatings..lol I think once you can read everything fast quickly and smoothly and having fun, that's when you realize a loss isn't nothing and getting back at it and crushing it is a real good feeling. Good luck :D

To find joy -- which is slightly different than having fun. Fun is sensual, joy is spiritual and comes with the growth, the relationships, and the time well spent.

As a recreational player I enjoy the fun that poker provides as I love to get distracted when there is a problem and just forget about it and focus on poker.
Of course if we make some money that's even more amazing, but I'm here for the fun.

I think the most important things are patience to wait the right time to play and discipline to follow your bankroll management.

What is more important in poker may be simply learning from your previous hand wins and losses from your hand histories, then understanding how to benefit from the information to improve your game.

What I find most important is how you process and learn from the results. That is, that you differentiate between whether you won luckily or whether you played well. To do this, the focus should be away from short-term results and more towards fundamentals.

of course knowing what you are doing is better than luck (only) . lol . if you play by hoping for luck only then you will not be a sucessful player at all

for me the most important things in poker are :

- reading abilities

- tilt management

- bankroll management

- patience

And for you, what is the most important thing in poker?
Staying humble. People don't care how much you won in the past or your expectations of how a game should go ... I believe it's heavily important to treat every poker game as if it were your first.

I try to rely in the game on everything that can point me to the right actions. Nothing is overriding.

Emotions. When you calculate the probabilities, when you manage to deceive other players. It is very nice.
I haven't won big prizes, but I'm sure that's also very nice. But for now, it's enough for me to get positive emotions from poker.

I believe the most important thing to do well in poker is knowing when to lose and when to win without getting emotionally shaken or getting carried away by ecstasy. Keeping mental balance and control of game techniques is very important.

For me the most important thing in poker is that I don't care if I win or lose but I did my best. And I know I still have a lot to learn to get better. Of course, like everyone else, I would like to win, but if it shouldn't be, the only question that arises for me is whether or not I did something wrong. It has also happened that I had won a tournament and I wasn't at all happy with myself because I had seen that although I had won, I had made too many mistakes. My goal is to make as few mistakes as possible when playing poker, but since I'm not ready yet, I play for fun and I hope to get a little better every time.

My good mood is important to me. If I am in a good mood, I am always patient and thanks to patience I have good results. If I have a bad mood, I don't even start playing.

Thanks to everyone who answered my question, everyone has their point of view and it is valid we all have a different way of seeing things and seeing poker, I appreciate each response and I hope to hear all your points of view.

Experience and patience are very important to me as well as the willingness to learn and to read more about poker. This helps to improve your poker skills.

poker is just a game.I think that for every normal person, the aspects of life are much more important than poker or any other entertainment.and if you live only by poker, then this is already a vicious circle.)
