Good qualities of a pro

IMO:
1. Discipline (bankroll, not tilting)
2. Intelligence (ability to determine EV, equity, etc)
3. Humility (asking for advice on hands, accepting defeat, not bragging)
4. Experience (knowing what to do in diff situations)

Now, what do you guys think are good qualities of a poker player?

Your list is good, I would add:

Heart/Courage (willingness to gamble with the best of it within your bankroll)

As a corollary to Discipline: Patience. I currently lack that.

If you can't sit for long periods, you can't play.

Endurance - The ability to play very long sessions when the going is good without letting tiredness, boredom or fatigue affect your play.

Qualities of a good pro:

1. Knowing the game poker very well so expert decisions can be made.

2. Shutting up when a live one makes an error and rivers you.

3. Indifference to a run of unpleasent cards.
