The occasional Poker player, who knows little or nothing about the hard mathematical facts and subtleties of the form of Poker on which he now and then wagers some money.

The habitual Poker player, who visits a Poker game at any opportunity he gets. He knows a little more about the artifices of Poker playing than the occasional Poker player, but is not smart enough to know that he can't beat the house charge nor the skullduggery that takes place in high-stakes games.
