3. Pattern map
4. Being handsome
5. The ability to see into your opponents souls through the chat window

I of course, have all 5 of these.

I've always liked the three "B"'s - Brains, Balls, and Bankroll - you get to pick the order. Devine spiritual calmess and a refusal to tilt helps too.

The ability not to tilt is number 3 4 and 5.

If you think you are untiltable, you either haven't played long enough or haven't played high enough. I used to think I never tilted. Now I imagine tilt costs me at least 1 bb/100. I'm waiting till it's about half that before I start to play for really high stakes.

seriously though...software (pokertracker), table selection, rakeback, etc? Which do you guys think are the most important things needed to show a profit over the long-term?
