Build a Deep-Rooted Confidence in Your Poker Math Abilities
When you know the hands-on poker math at a deep level and can access it anytime during a game, confidence in your skill as a player will increase significantly—sometimes dramatically.

Knowledge and confidence in poker math will free up your mind to focus on the other players, their motivations, chip stack sizes, the phase of the tournament, bet sizing, betting tempo, and more.

Much of the poker math is straightforward. You will be able to access it quickly and confidently. When the math is difficult, you will have the knowledge, skills, and self-confidence to go into the tank and determine it.
