I'd say right up there is lack of honesty with oneself. SOmetimes you have to take a hard look at your skills/decisions. I've seen to many people blame "bad Luck, suckouts, running bad" for losing way more money than they should, where honestly, they were making poor decisions, but refused to admit this.

Example, I watched as a friend of mine threw down several grand (alot of money for us at the time). afterwards, he was blaming two ridiculously bad beats he took. I pointed out that those only cost him a couple of hundred each, and the rest he lost playing poorly. He to this day refuses to believe me.

The worst trait a player can have is a belief that he has "it" figured out.

The worse trait for me is guys who pick their nose and then spread their snob all over the cards.
