OP you need to know some basic poker math, a lot of which you can learn off. Something like chens book is very advanced afaik though and you prob dont need that level of knowledge unless you play pretty high. Its supposed to be excellent though, so you could give it a go

Hmmm! Why should i educate you! You have to deserve my knowledge! DO YOU...if yes PROVE IT!
Quite a few have admitted that online poker is a lottery, or words to that effect!
I could ask you a simple question ...that would let me know how clever you are when i comes to understanding onloine poker softwhare! But..i cant be bothered!
poker we learn every day its ok saying u played for 40 years but the game changes every year thats y hellmuth cant hack it these days against the internet young whizz kids old skool just never wins nowadays like utg limping with aa etc just old skool its all aggresion nowadays the cards dnt matter if u have reads on a certain person u can 3 bet with aire i just like to know if stu unger was still alive how he would be doing because what the regulars do now on sky poker is what stu unger done years ago Posted by IDONKCALLU
Good point! BUT, the fundermental rules of playing live poker do remain! Online poker playing..well ...... What happens when an irrisistable collides with an immoverble object....
Sorry Frank, but I do find your post ridiculous. The OP is asking a legitimate question about the benefits of learning the maths. There can only be one answer to that. For you to say it is valueless, implying that the software online makes it a waste of time, is simply trolling the thread. You saying that you have been playing for poker for 40 years and have forgotten more than anyone else knows is laughable. If online poker is a lottery, what are you doing here ? Posted by penguin7

Hello Everybody this is my first post Just got a book titled The Mathmatics of poker. I think it will take me a month to read and years to understand lol. I dropped A Level maths for psychology and now i remember why!!! I'm worried that the effort i put into learning from this source could be of better use elsewhere. Is it just going to go round the houses just to conclude that the rules of thumb we all use as standard are approximate to optimal play anyway. (perhaps bridging that gap from approximate to complete optimal play would give substantiall rewards over time if it were at all possible) I studied a little game theory as it related to optimal foraging theory at university (Biology not Maths!!!) and the models we looked at where very simple and not even close to the complexity of poker.

ON SKY seriously ITS AFN LOTTERY AA v J4 you know what wins
if u have a problem TALK TO FRANK and the difference is a live dealer u play 10 hands in like 20 minutes online its more like 30 hands in 20 minutes so more chance of getting better hands live and online is so different i play alot tighter live then online try and watch players and when not in a hand look and concentrate on betting patterns and if goes to showdown what they are holding and make notes online its hard to get reads but i find the timebar intresting when its a quick call usually means a draw of some kind Posted by IDONKCALLU
