math is good for poker, but even more is ability to read people.
their body language, their patterns, just being able to sit down. play slowly unnoticed, till you have the nuts (best hand)
not being readable, and being able to read others very well. also really good at math.
alot of magic the gathering players turned to professional poker,
because in magic the gathering, over time, good players can see more wins. and in poker its the same, if you play alot and oyur a good player then chances are your abilities will show themselves.
me, im not that good at reading or hiding my hand. so i try not to play.
