Re: How important is math in poker?
If game is 100% math, however your calculations are based on guessing certain variables. Thus someone who is better at guessing these variables will have better results long term.
AKA if you have QQ vs. 1 other player the mathematical scenarios can be hugely different, the guy in front of you bets, you raise, he reraises all in...
VS an under pair you are a HUGE favorite
VS AK you are about even money
VS KK/AA you are a huge underdog
Well that math is very easy... but which scenario are you actually in? That's where "reading people/hands/feel/whatever" comes in.
