What are the most important characteristics and skills that a good poker player should have?

[Diego29]

In my opinion it would be to have the ability to manage our emotions effectively and make strategic decisions intelligently. Emotional management will allow us to stay calm and prevent emotions from clouding your judgment, while strategic decision making will help you quickly evaluate situations, consider various factors, and make the best possible decisions to maximize your chances of winning at poker.

it seems to me that a person should be dominated by qualities, restraint, and good control of the game and pleasure

One important trait every poker player should have is discipline. Discipline is key to staying focused, making rational decisions, and avoiding the influence of emotions in the game. It involves knowing when to play a hand and when to fold, managing your bankroll properly, and not getting carried away by impulses or emotional inclinations. Discipline allows the player to maintain a consistent and strategic approach, maximizing their chances of long-term success. It's a quality that can be developed and improved over time, becoming a solid foundation for a successful poker game.

Id depends on the modality. What you say is correct for live tables, but I believe in online games the best skill you could have is statistic knowledge, since you can't play emotions here, predicting your winner hand should be your priority.

I think is hard to define which skills you need to success at poker, because lately I started to think that to be a great poker player you need to have a gift to play it, I mean something that you could try and do better but it's not something that we can learn, in other words, maybe to be a professional poker player you need to be born with a gift to this game
