Good question, what I learned from my poker experience it is a vast content of things. I will list some of the qualities that I learned from books and experience wich I consider to be a priority to be a good poker player:
1.
A lot of patience - Especially if you are a beginner you will need a lot of patience to be successful in the game of poker. The road to success can be difficult, which is why you don't have to set impossible goals. Focus on the fun and enjoy each game as you gain experience. Hurry doesn't help at poker at all.
2.
Be self-taught - In recent years, I saw that the level of players has improved considerably, as a lot of resources have emerged from which they can learn. Basically, it's not enough to know poker rules, you have to dig deeper. Fortunately, on the Internet you will find enough winning strategies, tips from the best players in the world and you can watch professional
poker games on the Internet or on TV in such a way that you can see how more skilled players manage certain hands. In poker it is always important to study in such a way as to succeed in raising your level.
3.
Temperance - Managing your budget plays a very important role when playing poker. It is not enough to know how to play poker if you do not have the calm necessary to make the right decisions. You need to know all the time to know when to take risks so as not to be the "fish" at the table. At the same time, it is also important to know how much money to allocate for a game session. If you are a beginner, it is recommended to play smaller amounts. You are more likely to meet opponents of the same level and you will be able to gain experience. In addition, possible victories will improve your morale.
4.
Attention to detail - To be a good poker player you must also rely on distributive attention. It's not just important to know what you have to do, but you have to look at the other players at the table all the time. Try to always anticipate what cards they may have or what may come on the table. If you just think about making a surprising combination, you might lose the fact that your opponents can have an even better hand. In addition, constantly analyze how different hands played in such a way as to find out if there is someone at the table who has a habit of
bluffing. On the other hand, you can induce the idea that you have some good cards and take risks. Be careful that this strategy does not always last and you could suffer a significant loss, which could exclude you from the table.
5.
Managing Emotions - It plays a very important role when playing poker. You always have to be calm and make the right decisions. Nerves don't help poker at all, you won't get better cards if you get angry. Howeover, if you play at a live table you have to know how to hide your feelings in such a way that other players do not realize if you have a good or a bad hand. Precisely for this reason, many professional players play with sunglasses, a hat or a hood pulled over their head. At the same time, you don't have to play too many times when you're tired because there's a pretty good chance you'll make bad decisions. Play responsibly and don't forget to have fun.
Hope this may help, wish you all a blessed day!
