Yes, the good human can win even more against bad human but make no mistake - it's extremely hard to not lose a lot vs optimal strategies.

That's not true. There are a lot of different ways to exploit bad players depending on how bad they are. Also a lot of weak players these days have much more subtle leaks (e.g. never bluff-raise the river) and it takes some skill to spot and exploit them.

You were right here when you said "This is not true." I still think there is more nuance than the discussion as a whole credits, but overall I think you were more right than wrong in our discussion and I was more wrong than right. Thanks for the chat.
