I have no problem with removing experience from number 1. The reason I put it there is because it is the reason most of the other factors get perfected. Especially the emotional control issues.

I can tell a noob immediately in a chatroom when they blow up after a bad beat. I've been playing a lot for about a year now.. and I'm just getting to where a bad beat means nothing to me. The only time I really get mad is when I believe I have made an incorrect play.

So experience encapsulates the time you've had to practice you pot odds calculation, hand reading, bad beat experiences, it sort of sums up all you know about poker to that point.

So maybe a young gun can become great with little experience.. but it is the little he has had that made him great.

But if this isn't a big deal.. then certainly something else could argueably be numero uno.
