Poker pros are usually described as tight and aggressive players that won't play many hands, but playing few, they always seem to have nuts. However, such description doesn't describes the nature of a poker professional, so in this article I've tried to figure out four key skills necessary for an online poker pro.
Mathematics and analysis
Poker professionals perfectly know the general probabilities of the game. This means that all hands at the table have certain probabilities that can be analyzed and calculated in mind. For instance, poker pros know that any player at the table has roughly 1 out of 8.5 chances to hit a set having a pocket pair and roughly 1 out of 3 chances to complete a flopped flush.">flush draw by the river.
Poker professionals never underestimate the importance of outs – a number of cards that may improve your hand. Your goal is to count your outs, multiply the result by two and add one to calculate the percentage shot that you will have at hitting.
Poker professionals can easily figure out pot odds. Calculating outs appears to be useless, unless you apply it to make rational, calculated betting.
You must understand that basic mathematical skills are essential for a successful game. No, you shouldn't be an Einstein to succeed, because the material is pretty comprehensive for anyone, but you must learn and train your mathematical analysis skills to play successful real money poker. **
