Poker math is not complicated.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. If you can handle those you can handle poker math as well.
oh thanks!!! and for the odds?

Обязательно да или да? Или можно иметь 6/10 по математике и быть при этом профессионалом в онлайн-покере? Всем привет! И читайте всё!
Not really, math isn't just a bunch of numbers, it's a tool for making more accurate and profitable decisions at the poker table

In poker you need to learn to count quickly in your head, not necessarily accurately, but close and definitely quickly.

Yes, mathematics is important in poker, you have to do pre- and post-flop calculations to make the best decision.

Yes, you can. To play, you need basic maths skills at primary school level. Poker basically involves simple and elementary calculations, but not everyone understands this and not everyone knows how to calculate correctly.

Some math is really preferred, sometimes you will have to calculate outs for example. If you think your opponent has aces on a flop 20% of the times you will need some good math to calculate implied odds

You don’t need to be a math genius, but you must understand basics like probabilities, pot odds, and equity. The rest comes with practice and adaptation.

Poker is not complicated mathematics. I would even say it is elementary. Therefore, you do not need any special mathematical knowledge. But in my opinion, your results will depend primarily on your discipline. Your discipline is the foundation for all your goals in life.

Mathematics is important, but especially in online poker, I've seen many hands with a probability of 5% on the flop winning. pokerstars violates the statistical rule for example, the probability of losing with AA is greater than winning.

i mean, it won't be harmful, but you don't have to have an academic degree in math to play poker well. The calculations are pretty basic. The most important thing is understanding the mechanics of the game, knowing GTO well, understanding how it works and knowing how and when to deviate from it correctly.
