Hi, i've just begun my poker journey poker journey. I have seen success in live poker with little consideration of any math such as hand ranges and betting and stuff like that. I'm a complete noob to this whole poker talk though so bare with me please. I am trying to improve my game. My question is, is ca I be a successful live poker player with little math, and by just using my ability to read and manipulate people? when I say read I mean have a good understanding of how the player plays poker and why they do what they do, and being able to tell if they have a good hand or are bluffing. When I say manipulate, I mean set the pace of the game, confuse them by talking a lot and giving so much information they dont kow what's true and whats fake. Sorry for the horrible explaination.. I guess it comes down to can I be a profitable player in the long run with just exploitative and pyschological warefare type games.
