To be a winner you need to know that stuff.I've been watching and reading a lot on Poker, and the only thing that's been a real pain has been trying to learn EV, Pot Odds, etc.
I'm not naturally a math guy, so wanted to see what everybody thinks about the math involved, and how much you think it's worth.
To be a winner you need to know that stuff.
Go become a pro you need to understand indepth the math behind the game.
Little of the math is beyond algebra, so its fairly simple stuff. But very important.
I love math because it's useful to me. It started out as a kid, my parents would give me lots of attention for being good at math.
Now, my friends and enemies at the table pay me for being BETTER at math than them. That's really it. If you're marginally better at math or applying it more than your opponents, you'll start winning more.
Train your brain to value math. It'll pay dividends FOR SURE.
Good luck!!
Not nearly as much as some people will have you believe. All the you really need are the fundamentals. This is a basic knowledge of pot odds, hand odds and implied odds.
Heck, if you are playing Limit poker you don't even need to know implied odds.
