After having been given some good pointers and insights from a couple of members of CC (thank you, pokerlovesme and cjatud2012) and having studied Qtip's amazingly instructive video at DTB...I still find myself struggling with developing poker math skills. I'm working regularly on this stuff...giving myself homework, determined that if I keep working at it, it will begin to come more readily.
It's not yet and I've been working earnestly at it for weeks. I'd love some feedback on whether anyone else has struggled like this and actually developed their skills to the extent that they come almost naturally, enough so that it truly helps their game. I'm talking about people who are largely intuitive players and for whom math aptitude is a very real weakness.
I understand so much more about how to figure poker odds and ev. It did, though, present a large learning curve for me, I hate to admit. The problem is that I know how to figure out WHAT I need to know while I play but there is no time to do all the calculations that will give me the info I need to have...WHILE I play.
I have confidence in my intuitive skills although there is always room for improvement, of course. The trouble I'm having with making math skills my own, though...I'm finding it very discouraging.
Positive input will be appreciated...but any honest feedback is welcome. I want indications of what I can realistically expect.
