I know it was only a movie but wasn't the math genius in the "Cincinatti Kid" a big loser? Even though it was only a movie I thoght it was a good depiction/example that you need more than math skills to be good at Poker.

weasely looking guy with glasses and a notebook doing calcs at the table.
The hand he goes bust on he screams "You should NOT have called with that hand!"
I wish I could find that clip, host it somewhere and send the link via the chatroom to any nit that shouts something similar when outdrawn. It does a nice job of showing what an idiot you look like when you do this (wait, let me replace all the "you"s in this with "I" since I do this as well).
Also, being quick at simple calculations is better than taking time to get a long formula right.
