It all depends on what you mean when you say 'mastering.' Learning card ranks and memorizing the structure of betting rounds is indeed a simple task. Perfecting intricate poker strategies, however, has nothing in common with the term 'easy.' Real poker sharks are well aware of the fact that poker is a game of skill.
