Poker is a combination of math, psychology and luck. Into the online poker you use more math and luck, but into the live tournaments math and spychology.

I suggest you read ''Poker math that matters'' by Owen Gaines, it helped me to grasp many basic concepts of poker math and I re-read it time by time.

In our circle we have a saying, poker is a game of skill, luck and mindset. The skill is the math, the psychology, the strategic work. The luck well that speaks for itself. And the mindset, which is the beliefs one has in their game and abilities. Its the attitude you bring to the table and the way you handle the ups and the downs. This is what makes the difference between a very good player and a great. How much of each of these make up the game is debatable and I tend to think it varies person to person based on where they are in their competency.
