Default Re: How Do Non-Rational Players Succeed in Poker?

Being intelligent and logical are characteristics of a great player.

What makes someone "intelligent". If someone is bad at math, does that mean they are not intelligent.

[/ QUOTE ]

Mathematical intelligence is simply one form of intelligence, it is not to say someone is generally intelligent or not because they are particularly adept or insufficient at one particular area of study. Different people will have different types of intelligence and be exercising different parts of their brain, be it more analytical and practical areas of thought or more emotional and sensory higher levels of thinking.

Although everyone agrees there is such a thing as intelligence, there is very little agreement on what it is. Scientists insist since it exists they can measure it. Maybe.
