If we can summarize best poker players attributes, what do you think the most important attributes are for a successful poker player? Do you think these going to be different for online/live players?

Some obvious ones i can think of right away are:
* Intelligence
* Problem solving skills (math)
* Observation skills (people reading)
* Experience
* Mental stability (emotion control)
* Poker knowledge level

What else? In other words, what varible you think that can affect your long term poker playing level.

That would count as a personality trait i guess. Do you think extrovert/introvert personlaity has an impact on your poker playing skills?

Is poker knowledge can be almost the same as logical skills?

Seems to me that Huck Seed has been very successful and has many desirable qualities for a poker player.
