#2 Card Counting is cheating: Card counting is a method in blackjack wherein a betting player mentally takes note of the cards being dealth. This gives the betting player a slight advantage over the casino but is not considered cheating. It is merely a strategy but the casinos usually do not like this still.

The same situation was in the 1988 film Rain Man. There, two brothers went to play at the casino. The older brother was autistic and could memorize all the cards. They won. The casino suspected them of fraud. But the ability to remember cannot be called a fraud, especially for an autistic person. In general, the situation ended well.

#3 Poker is a game of math experts: While basic math will give you an advantage in poker, you do not have to be a math genuis to be good at it. Even if you are just good at reading your opponents, you can win as much!

Poker now exists online. It is not psychology that is more important there, but calculations of the probability of certain combinations that have been calculated for a long time and are in books on the game of poker. And of course, experience is always important.
