9. The ability to run a search at twoplustwo so that you don't post the same question that gets posted just about every 3 months?

This is unnecessary. Esspescially form someone who's only been on the boards for 2 months. Yes this is a standard question and in my opinion this is secondary to strategy disscussion. But there is no reason to be an ass to someone who obviously didn't know this question was standard. We were all newbies at one time.

To the original poster. A great book on necessary skills and motives for a winning poker player is Schoonmakers "psychology of poker"

In My Opinion
1 hand selection
2 selective agression
3 seat selection
4 understanding opponents (reading and putting them on hand ranges)
5 HU ability based heavily on #4
6 desire to learn and study
7 Table selection
8 Emotional Management
9 Bankroll management skills
10 mathmatical skill
