I found the list below on a web site and made a copy of it a very LONG time ago..

Q:P10 What skills are important for Texas Hold'em?
(Hold 'em) Poker Skills in Order of Importance
Disclaimer: I'm a poker novice, not an expert.
0. Table selection
1. Hand selection
2. Reading opponents' hands
3. Opponent assessment
4. Heads up play, bluffing, and semi-bluffing
5. Seat selection
6. Check-raising
7. Getting tells
8. Pot odds calculations

I now look at this list and not only totally disagree, I think there are many skills missing. If you care to take part, I would like you to post a list of the Ten (Poker Skills/Strat) you think are most important to your game. Please make your list in order, 1 being the most important.

* It would be also helpful if you added as a foot note whether most of your play is online or live.
