    Tell your friend to watch the movie "Rounders." "If you don't know who the pigeon is after 30 minutes then you are the pigeon."

    Poker takes a lifetime to master... it is not learned in a week, month or year.

    Start with the fundamentals, building a strong foundation, then add on elements. Expect losses and mistakes, but learn from them all.

    Read poker books, articles, interact with questions on poker forums such as this. After you think you understand it, get a mentor or coach to explain and show you what you don't know and compliment you on what you have learned.

    "Rounders" is a great poker movie. There is a lot of slang to comprehend, but there is a lot of wise sayings too.



    This is what I found on google for a pigeon: "a gullible person, especially someone swindled in gambling or the victim of a confidence trick."

    Poker is the same as Baccarat most anything can happen at any time without any agenda that each of us has. Players believe whatever they having trained themselves or taught themselves to believe and therein lies the problem.
