The math behind the poker is just a basis to playing, anyone who plays strictly by the numbers will not be a winning poker player, because there are too many different elements to the game, poker is not Blackjack. Learning all the statistics behind the game is good to know. It helps you. I bet you will be extremly hard pressed to find a straight by the numbers player, 1 because its not going to be a winning player and 2 because there is a huge influx in poker you will run into tons of bad new players before anything else.

Potential in a B&M game you could find someone like this.
