which is the problem. The principles on pot odds and betting with purpose are good ones, but they get TOO mathematical and it gets to the point where players are performing trig in their heads to try and figure out whether to call, fold or raise their hand postflop.
The truth is in the middle. You need some of the knowledge they impart, but you need not take it so seriously that you forget you're playing poker, which is a people game played with cards.

Using trig to figure out the right poker play, priceless.
