Message: [QUOTE="LukeSilver, post: 5890813, member: 59099"] It does often surprise me when I see how many keen poker players struggle to turn a profit then I see so many disregard statistics and there is the answer. Statistics is vital in poker and absolutely essential to success. Poker is a game of incomplete information and as such we work with the limited information we have and apply statistics to that. there are weak players/recreational players I see around a lot. there are also some very strong players I see around not often, but yes as a generic rule we will see an individual decent player more then we will an individual weak player simply because the decent player survives with their deposits longer/indefinitely where as weak/losing players empty their accounts and have to wait to redeposit or can play less games etc. against a random new player with no intel my play style would be my base style so to speak until I gained information to realise spots to play this guy specifically. However my base game is based on a lot of calculations and work away from the tables and my adaptations are based on what I have learnt from my work to form the base game to recognise spots i can exploit. all this is built upon statistics. when I successfully call a bluff off and my girlfriend thinks me a genius news flash I rarely am 100% confident that I have the best hand, I put my oppenant on a range of hands roughly and work out the odds I am getting on my call and thus statistically if a call is profitable. I look like a genius when I successfully snap off the bluff but not so smart when I lose a big pot. Mathematically I am turning profit though. this is all based on statistics. the only difference between a player you see around a lot and one who you have only just seen is the amount of information you have to inform a decision either way statistics is still very important.
