You can win money in poker without even learning the math of the game. However, becoming a consistently winning player without learning the mathematics of poker is very difficult. Moreover, without knowledge of the mathematics of poker, you will seriously limit your potential. Which player do you think will play better: a girl who uses the knowledge of mathematical probability and
odds, on the basis of which she makes her decisions, or a girl who makes decisions based on premonitions, relying on her "sixth sense"? Perhaps you thought that poker is a game of
tells, reads and "feel", but you were mistaken. No matter how strong your "sixth sense" is, if you don't know anything about
pot odds when playing poker, you're throwing money away.
