On the other hand, mathematics, calculations and odds will least affect play in Texas Hold-Em than almost any other poker game. HE is a psychological game more than anything else. With only two cards hidden in each hand calculation of the odds of catching a particular card is relatively easy whereas in, say, 7-Card Stud, there are more cards isible and the calculations can become more difficult, what with having to remember who folded, how many cards they had exposed, what those cards were, etc. I'm not saying that psychology doesn't enter in Stud play, but the effect isn't as great as it is in HE.

Limit poker regardless of ersion is 90 percent about numbers bluffing and what not are only mildly profitable skills in lmit. NL is the only style where you could argue that not needing to precisely know the numbers is acceptable, but you better have a general idea when you play NL or you WILL go broke!
