Does “probability theory” play any part in Texas Hold’em?
Yes, it does. Probability theory as applied to gambling is based on the concept that if you toss a coin over a long period of time it will come down heads as many times as it comes down tails. Pure chance. That’s the probability. When applied to poker various simulations have proved that if an experienced player plays a relative novice over a medium term or long period of time, the experienced player will almost always triumph. This indicates that skill and know-how play a large part in games like Texas Hold’em. Chance is involved but it is not necessarily the deciding factor.
