Define a "Good Player"...

The more I play, the more I realize the good player:

1. has the fundamental ABC stuff down
2. doesn't tilt
3. isn't given to FPS

Great players have more; but, to be a good player and be profitable, that's all you need.

I don't get what could be more important then handreading, that is the basis that allows you to come as close as you can to playing the hand as if you knew what the player had. Ultimately being the overall goal of poker, making the least mistakes while maximizing the mistakes your oppenents make against you.

yeah, a sort of mentor in the game said to me a while back when we were talking about our "biggest" games: "Poker comes down to how well you can put your opponents on a hand and act accordingly." That seems pretty ABC to me.
