I have only ever seen this true in movies. A newbie doesn't know how to count cards, feel out bluffs, or develop a strategy. Given enough money and time they'll feel their way around the unspoken rules. But no one I know rolls up to a table pulls a royal flush and walks out away the winner.
- edanm 16y agoNot true. Lots of people with very little skill have beaten superior players. They can't last against them for long, but they can get lucky. This is a known phenomenon around the poker world, and greatly works to pro's advantage (you would never wager money against a professional in other fields, since there is no way you could win. In poker, though, because bad players win once in a while, they can delude themselves into not realizing how bad they are).
