Critical skills?

Funny as frogs MadMo, himalayan lady Re-Buy's:
Noob player asks for advice,
Noob poster gives advice the best she can,
god gives judgement on noob poster's advice but will not digress in conversation with, be it because of his superior post count , or the fact that he lacks the social skills,
ether way, noob poster takes notice to this 1 time insult on the 1st day he has bothered to actually talk to strangers about his playing experiences, and decides to bother to ask for a response......
No explanation to the great one's insult is forthcoming, so....... there it is... talk poker or eff off....I can talk shite for Britain if ya wan't. in Latin if ya like,
if you have an opinion or disaggree with something somebody's posted, say so and digress, don't just throw little JPG.s like a tick-turd.

You are right though position is not a skill. knowing when to use it is tho. So if I were gonna replace position wiv something it would probably be......Big Tit's & nostrils.
No seriously......Probably a good knowledge of Pot odds, EV, stats, math ect
Its like Jeet 1st said 'the amount of knowledge required is large'
It's hard to narrow it down to just 3 skills or 3 top skills as they all complement each other and knowing them all and then implementing them in the heat of battle IS THE KEY.
A cetain Mr Brunson once said ' A Thousand lessons will not be enough for most players at NLHE' and He's right.
It's become a crap-shoot and I'll be very surprised to see any pro win any main event more than once in thier career now .
Most people Havent got what it takes to become a 'Pat' NLHE player. In fact I think the best advice I could give Jeet at the moment would be... learn Omaha...
Of course NLHE's fun, Playing card's has to be !! or else we would'nt do it, I think what I was trying to get across was ......Say when I win a tounrney or a real big hand Im not Overcome wiv Joy. its more of a sense of Achievement and Pride at having out-thought, out-played my opponent's. A kind of Dr EVIL Laugh, when I get lucky I laugh, when I get a suck out I laugh, that is where the FUN is in this game take it seriously OR just break even

This is what I have a problem with. Noob poster with ridiculous avatar comes in, posts a bunch of stupid smiley cards and tries to be cute, rambles on about poker not being fun and acts like it is some serious business instead of just giving advice like the 14 posts before her which by the way never had a single Smiley so why would any sane person think it's ok to post like that as a noob?
