id say reading opponents is the most important but it's funny how that skill just vanishes when youre on tilt. do you think any of those other skilsl can still save you if your reads are completely off?

Honestly matsh is underrated, without solid numbers you cant even confirm if your reads are actually good or just lucky hunches. Bankroll management keeps you alive long enough for all the rest to matter so I lean that way if were picking one.

maths is the goat lowkey, you can read souls all day but if you don't know the odds youre just gambling not playing fr ? ?

Reading opponents is huge but I swear it’s so useless if you’re playing micro stakes where nobody even knows what they’re holding themselves lol. I started tracking my sessions and the real game changer was seeing how many pots I lost just because I had no clue about implied odds.

tarck your biggest losing sessions first because that data shows where your bankroll managment actually broke down not just bad luck

bankroll management has to come first otherwise youre not even around long enough to work on the patience thing.
