Personally, I think if you understand basic math, and play hard you'll be fine.
You don't need to be a math wizard to be great at poker, but knowledge is power, obviously the better you're at math, the better your poker skills will become.

How important do you think math is in poker? Do you often use math when you play?

While probability will give a player an edge, it does not guarantee success. Knowledge of probability will help a poker player formulate a strategy which will likely boost his chance of success. Now, it is very unlike to see a poker player without some basic knowledge of probability.!
