Although they are related and many use the terms interchangeably, there is a difference between statistics and probability. Both are important in Poker but at different times.
Statistics: the practice or science dealing with the collection, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of masses of numerical data
If you don't collect and analyze statistics on you own personal play, you have no real idea on how well or bad you are doing.
Probability: the extent to which an event is likely to occur, measured by the ratio of the favorable cases to the whole number of cases possible.
So, during a hand, it is probabilities you really want to focus on.
