Default Re: math quiz

I don't think this quiz is very indicative of what you use for poker. No one will ever calculate this much at the poker table and if they are, I don't suspect they are close to expert players. Despite what we say, math is not nearly as important as experience and good instincts in NL tournament play. There are too many factors which we can't account for, which is one reason why there aren't any computers which can play NL Holdem efficiently.

I looked at the questions and thought about my answers, but there were too many variables which you can't account for in numbers. Especially since most of us never think about the answers to questions like this in the heat of the moment (prove me wrong, please, but I've NEVER run the numbers in depth during a decision).

Don't take this the wrong way, but this thread is just going to be us patting ourselves on the back but at the table you'll get a completely different answer from 95% of us.
