At the "professional" level, card game gambling is barely even enjoyable, it's all about mentally going through a table of probable outcomes, deciding if you believe the other players have one of those probable outcomes, or if you can squint your eyes just slightly, so they believe you have one of those probable outcomes, and then chiseling around the edges to size the other guys up. Very rarely do they make a real bluff because they're convinced the other players would know.

An amateur can throw all of that for a loop. Granted, 99.9% of the time they will lose because they lose patience and don't bet strategically (betting strategically at the top levels is boring and tedious and rarely makes it onto TV), but every now and again someone can be patient, play professionally enough to get deep in the game, and then make an illogical bluff, or get lucky on one of those very rare odds, and blow a pro out of the water. And the pros rage at the audacity of those amateurs for daring to try.

Sometimes newcomers make pros look like fools, it's not always the remote control butt plug.

I was playing a Texas hold ‘em free roll one night. I won a big hand, and the guy next to me got pissed. I did not do the thing a pro would do (and he expected me to do). It was years ago, and I am sorry I can’t remember the details.
