Poor at Math = Poor at Poker...?

[symphonic]

Hello,
I'm a 21 year old college student, and am rather intelligent; however, when it comes to math....well...let's just say it isn't my fortay. I've only been playing more serious poker for a month and a half now maybe (have read WLLHE, currently reading ToP and then HPFAP), and i'm doing rather well at 3/6 live, but online I'm no good yet. Anyways, I was just wondering, with all the calculating of the various odds, will my sub-par math skills keep me from being a good poker player?

Only if simple math such as adding, substracting, multiplying and dividing is a problem. That is really all you need at the table.

Some understanding in statistics, game theory and maybe calculus helps off the table to understand the finer points of the game, but it's not necessary to be a winning player.

When do you need to use calculus in poker?

I use it to impress the honeys. Nothing gets them going faster than a smooth-as-silk integration by parts.

I've been able to put quite a few players on tilt by talking about triple integrals in a loud voice at the table. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
