Faith and trust are subtly different things, and trust is both a skill and talent. When a poker player makes bets, one of the things they do is ask how much they trust a reading of the situation, and often times that's the best they've got. A poker player also does not rely on axioms because almost all propositions they could come up with would have no answer.
For most people, life is more like poker than math.
- DarylZero 5y agoThat's not really how high level poker is played -- it actually is all about the math. That's why top poker players are ALSO top players online where you can't see the other players.
- threatofrain 5y agoNo, it's not all about math, and there is a disparity between online play and real life tournament play. If poker were all math then we'd see far more mastery by poker bots beyond just heads-up play. If the only thing you have in your pocket is math, then you are missing out on advantages. In online poker players may purchase large databases of player histories. But constructing advantages from player history is ultimately a psychological theory notwithstanding whether math is employed. The reason is because mathematical axioms do not provide insight into how player history should translate into player futures.
