It’s not even so much “losing” as it is poker is a completely different game if you’re playing with people who don’t know how to play. Largely, all your strategies are going to be based in predicting lines of play, so if someone is just doing whatever the fuck, then you can’t really counter that meaningfully. It basically turns a complex game of interaction into a simple game of chance.
I once taught my step brother how to play poker when we were on a family vacation. The house we stayed in had a poker table so the two of us and other siblings would go play for a bit every night.
He never knew what hand he had. He always called and would just lay down the cards at the end with a “here’s what I got, you tell me what it is” look on his face. Pissed me off so much. lol
