It is a real mystery how these top class pro's would get even basic fundamental concepts wrong.

Ah, numbers. Real poker, especially live poker where you go inside your opponent's mind and see his soul, isn't about terms like "Standard Deviation" and "EV." and all that geek stuff. Those are probably my two least favorite phrases in the world.

Don't bother reading any of those books about poker "theory". You can't learn how to play from a book. Books are filled with math and that [censored] doesn't matter in poker. You need to have instincts and balls of steel. Play No Limit Texas Holdem and just bluff the donkeys out of pots and learn how to stare into another man's eyes and know everything about his life.....that's the way to play poker. Books can't teach you that.
