The Odds

One of the wisest people of the modern age was Foghorn Leghorn. Mr. Leghorn, despite the disadvantage of being a cartoon chicken, made one of the most profound observations of the modern age. He once noted the following, "You can argue with me boy, but you can't argue with math". If more poker players planned their strategy around mathematics, there would be a whole lot less fish in the sea. Strategy is based on information. In poker, your math can be used to give you some insight into a particular situation so you can behave accordingly.
