Poker mathematics is the very foundation of decision-making. It is based on real concepts like pot odds, expected value, and probability, and once you get the hang of it, you'll be negotiating around your opponents with such ease. It involves so much more than numeric calculation because it is helpful in establishing your groundwork for strategy. Understanding this basic mathematics principles will enhance your game to that level you like.
 
I'm not sure if most seasoned poker players are mathematicians. It would be like how the Beatles were awesome musicians, but couldn't read music. Do you see what I'm saying?
 
Of course, you don't have to be a math wizard to play poker, but you can certainly have some basic maths knowledge like the pot odds, expected value, things like that to inform your play.

Understanding a little math about pot odds, expected value, and probability can be most helpful in poker playing. Nobody really needs to be a math genius, but knowing some of the important concepts helps the players to make a more informed choice and thus increases the chances of winning.

Strange things. I don't know Beatles don't know how to read music but still played great music all through their career. Life is full of mystery. I agreed with your opinion. There are great poker players that doesn't know simple additions but are exceptionally good in playing poker.
 
I think a sound knowledge of how to estimate odds and probabilities can be very useful in poker. It helps you to estimate how likely you are to hit your outs.
