Stats full of Woo-woo

Is there a place for woo-woo in poker?

I was reading a poker book the other day that had a nice essay about the belief that people have about randomness. If I flip a coin 4 times and it comes up heads and then I go to flip it a fifth time, is it now more likely to come up tails because it's due for tails? The essay tried to drive home that you must be dispassionate in poker. You must understand statistics. You mustn't get caught up in the stuff your emotions are trying to deceive you about.

Today, I'm reading Doyle Brunson's Super System. Doyle writes, "if I win a pot, I nearly always play the next pot as well, within reason. Although the cards will break in the long run, card rushes do happen."

And then he has a section on his belief that ESP is one of the ways he's able to read other players.
