I play poker and while I understand it is a 'numbers' game in many ways, I can't get beyond feeling like my 'gut feeling' is just as valuable.

Do you have a link for that article?

I am neither but am very good at poker. I'm good at reading people, I put it down to my Psychology background. Are the Psychologists not up there with the winners? I would never play poker against Derren Brown lol
