The following only doesn't apply if you are exactly Lukie.
I think that a big ego is extremely harmful to a poker player. I think that the best players have all gone through poker situations that were so horrible and humbling that they no longer have that ego. I think confidence is important though.
The best players exude a quiet confidence, but aren't egotistical really. Gabe would probably be an example of quiet confidence. If u ever watch the cardrunners video that muddywater, sbrugby, or stinger do, you'll notice they are a calm and humble presence.
I'd have to say that one of the biggest negative aspects of my poker game is my complete lack of confidence.
