1. Patience

You'll be dealt lots of bad hands that must be folded. It gets boring sometimes, but you have be able to sit and wait for the right opportunities. If you can't do that, the game becomes very difficult.

2. Strong critical thinking skills

There's more to poker than just guessing. There's all sorts of variables and information. You have to understand them and think your way through it while under pressure.

3. Intuition

You have to know when to pay attention to your subconscious. Sometimes the math and logic wont be enough. The little voice in your head shouldn't be ignored.

poker is a brutally competitive game. In order to become a pro, players must be adept in four key areas: math, game theory, psychology, and self-control.

Message 4'

The First professionalism in terms of reminders of victories and defeats, the second hlodnokrovnost at losses not to fall into tilt, the third never forget that you play for money what I have so far and not so much and so like everything

I think that the good player should be patient. It is really important in cash games. Additionally he should have analitics skills. And the last one the player shouldn't let the emotions take control even after a lost hand ;-)

Hi.
Undoubtedly, the first place will always be patience. The second place will be the strategy. Third place is risk control. And in the fourth place will be a masseuse. :D
Good luck.
