Poker: Game Theory, Mathematics, or Psychology?​

Hi
Mathematics and psychology, both of these factors are of great importance. It is simply impossible to say in general what is more important. For some players, psychology, or rather their psychological state, will be more important. For others, math will be more important because that's how their brain works. But in general, we can unequivocally state that without luck, there will be no good results
Good luck

Statistics and probabilities require mathematics, and the skill requires psychology, so it is a combination of them 3 PLUS something else. The ability to properly understand the game is something that every single one of us understands in a specific way. We could play the same hand, and even ignore the position we`re in, but in the end, 1 will raise the other might fold. Therefore, different understandings of the same gameplay. Controlling your emotions is something that will be taught by psychology and pot odds or EV will be given by mathematics in the end. We have to understand everything about it in order to actually be good at it
