Poker as it Relates to Probability and/or Statistics

[Jason]

Who has studied probability and/or statistics? Have you been able to relate it to playing poker? Myself, I am certified to tutor many math subjects, but unfortunately, I haven't gotten a probability or a statistics certificate yet. It's something I would want in the near future.

I've studied probability while playing poker—it helps with odds calculation and decision-making. Getting certified sounds like a great goal!

No matter the probability regarding other things, a large bankroll is probably the most important thing. Who else would agree? Why might it be more important?

I have learnt to calculate pot odds, so that I can use better judgment at the table. I have also used statistical analysis in reviewing my game and finding places to be better.

Am a average mathematics student and know probability fairly well. Probability will give a player a better judgment but that does not mean that the player will be more successful than others. Probability is all about chance and chance is a direct result of luck.
