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.
