While funny, it is too general as there are plenty of people who are not experts who know that they suck and plenty of beginners who think they are good.

Yep, I can attest to that! I've been both. I'm currently the non-expert that knows I suck and I used to be the beginner that thought I was good. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I think it's thought process:

Beginner thinks "Poker is Easy."

Advanced thinks "Poker is Easy...if you play the right people."

Expert thinks "Poker is Hard...there's always more to learn. But look...I make lots of money at it."

Master thinks "Poker is Hard. But I've been learning and thinking about it for a long time...I could write a manual and make even more money at it."

Edit: I thought of another...semi-serious.

Beginner: Knows the cards he holds.
Advanced: Knows the cards he holds. Thinks about the cards you hold.
Expert: Thinks about the cards he holds. Thinks about the cards you hold.
Master: Thinks about the cards he holds. Knows the cards you hold.
