I think that usually the opposite is true. People who play the first time without knowledge win more because they purely play with luck and not "skills", "knowledge". Skills are useful when you play poker in real life, there is an involvement of human psychology, simulation, etc.
Hmm, You are right that in real life poker player has a chance to count the cards.
Machine / computer dealer is always very hard to understand/ bit him. Sooner or later computer will win if the player play for long time. Machine will force to bet as crazy and it will take the chance to win. For why people should gamble what actually they are afford to lose and take it as a part of fun.
