Let's can the 'you need all these' posts. We know you need all of them. That's not why he posted.
It's not simply that you need all of them, it's that none of them stand out as that much more important...

If you dont have "Patience and resilience", "selective aggression" is not going to save you. If you dont understand "inflection point play" then you will not be able to "extract value" properly from your hands.

This is really about 4 skills.

1) Inflection point play.
2) Extracting Value
3) Selective Aggression.
4) patience and Resilience.

None are so much better than the others that it's a "most important skill". I've never had a problem with number 4, but when I started I didnt understand 1-3. As I've improved as a player, I learned and improved in each area... But until I was able to use all of them I wasnt able to profit in SnG's/MTT's long term...

Now if the question was "What do most people need to work on the most" or "Which skill would you prefer the other players at the table lack" then things would be diffrent...

Q. Is poker Gambling?
A. Do you use correct bankroll management?
