Probability is only a part of the game. If you are only good at mathematics you probably won't make a good poker player...you will need other talentsThu, 27 Mar 2008 11:50:19 GMTslakarmhttp://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2835-19-1.aspxTo be a good poker player you do need to know the probabilities, and yes those can be memorized. But the probabilities are just part of the package. You need to use that information along with what you know about your opponents and other poker strategies to become an overall good player.Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:19:53 GMTpaytheline11http://www.gambling.com/forum/Topic2835-19-1.aspxI don't think that maths comes into it at all.
