Poker as a Career

Majority of people seems to believe that poker is gambling and there are limits and restrictions put on it as if it is a vice that people cannot control. They think poker is a game that needs supervision from parents. Every player knows that poker involves great skill. There are people who are not just good but also great players and they even take it to the next level, preparing for poker as if it is a career.

Maybe, if there is a poker degree available in college, they would definitely enroll now. I have seen successful professionals who have decided to quit their jobs for a thought of having a great poker career and would better be served in the game of poker.

It is tough to say whether it is a good decision to leave the corporate world just to pursue a career in poker. What if poker doesn’t work out?

Poker Mathematics

Use poker mathematics to beat the game

Poker is a game of skill and it is a game of mathematics. You can calculate the odds of either you or your opponent winning the hand in any situation. It can give you an advantage to win and it can improve your game over players that do not use them.

Mathematics most commonly used when a player is on a draw such as a flush or straight draw. You will face a decision if you are on a draw and your opponent makes a bet. A player with good knowledge of poker mathematics will know whether or not to call and will always be sure to make decision.

You should estimate and analyze if your opponent is bluffing and having a worse hand. If you keep making the right decisions based on odds, you will end up making more money.
