The best qualities of a poker player is don't let your eyes give you away. Don't bluff unless you at least have some kind of hand and don't just assume you have the best hand but try and check the tell-tell signs that your opponent may have a better hand. Your opponent could have a good hand but yours is better or vice versa.

Someone who goes in to play and makes it a priority.

If you see someone with a beer in their hand or playing with their social buddies, they're there for entertainment with a chance of winning.

It's the loners who are into the game that are there to win.

Being a good sport and making fun conversation while making the most of the game. No one likes a sore person at the table.

I think to be a top poker player, you need to have the perfect mix of discipline and creativity. The best players are disciplined enough to keep their cool whether they're up big or getting crushed. They also come up with creative solutions to sticky situations all the time.

I also believe that even though math skills are great, it's mainly about making the right decisions consistently, even when you're tired or bored.

Another thing I noticed is that the best players I know are actually pretty fun at the table. They keep it professional but know poker's still a game at heart. Oh, and they never stop studying. They know the game is always evolving and they evolve with it, whether in the moment or over a long period.
