Poker is ....
What % Psychology and what % probablity? You can also specify what game. I think generally, its 75% Psychology and 25% Probablity.

Re: Poker is ....
There is no good answer to this question. At micro/low limits you can with with "100%" probability and "0%" psychology.
Secondly a lot of poker skills are really just poker skills, they are not really one or the other. Raising to isolate is as much a psychological play to convince people to let you contest it heads up as it is a good move EV wise. It's not one or the other. Is raising with KJs in LP afrt several limpers a purely math play? No. It has positive expectation and shows a profit, but it's also psychological because weak players instinct is to check to the raiser and give you free cards over and over. What is the real difference here? Technically aren't all moves probability since the entire point is to gain in number? This question is to simplified to give any meaningful response or allow you to draw any worthwhile conclusion. I think I know what you are trying to ask. My response is this: At lower levels psychology isn't important at all. As your opponents become more skilled it becomes increasingly important. At the highest limits the game places more importance on psychology, but this is only because no one is making simple probability mistakes. It's not because they're ignoring probability, if they are the game will have a nice waiting list =).

Re: Poker is ....
Hi,
I just wanted to note that psychology becomes more important in shorthanded games. Also, I think Alex/Mugaaz's post is the definitive response to this thread.
