i think they see these people playing and think poker is 100% skill. and for pro's it is mostly skill, and involves little luck. but what they don't realize, is that a pro pushing, betting, calling, checking, is calculated. they are doing something. they may raise in a certain situation because they are sophisticated and know it will work, wheras you raise in the same situation because you're a stupid douche. the fish equates skill to the ability to stone cold bluff, when I think skill in poker has a lot more to do with being able to know when you're ahead in marginal situations.
