Default Pro or Rookie

Would you rather play a pro or a loose rookie?

Id pick pro because a loose rookie will call your bluffs with a bad hand...(but better than yours)...and will go all in at stupid times and catch cards

it really all depends on what your talking about. if i'm sitting down at a heads up table with alot of my money on the line, i'd rather play a rookie. but if its a table where i'm not risking much or needing a win, then i'd love to get schooled by... err i mean play a pro. in otherwords if i'm tryin to make money, i'll take the rookie every time, but if its for fun... bring on the WSOP champions!

Rookie, as frustrating as it is sometimes. The other night, had a guy chase me down to make a flush with runner runner against my 2 pair. Annoying yes, but if he makes those calls all night long, I'm gonna beat him like a drum

I agree with masta, I'd much rather play a rookie if I had a lot of money on the line, because I'd have a better chance of winning in the long run, but if it wasn't a lot of money, I would play the pro just for the experience.

Rookie definitelt. All of these newbies on PS are the reason my bankroll is going. Its much harder to get chips out of an experienced player.

Heads up NL or ring game...I'll take the rookie....MTT or low buy-in SnG, I'll take the Pro.....I will also take the rookie on in all limit games. I guess the real problem with playing the rookie is basically in low entry SnG and MTT's.

I'll take a rookie 8 days a week. I will take my chances with them catching cards.

What on earth kind of question is that anyway? A loose rookie is still a rookie, and if he's loose you'll be able to figure it out pretty quick and take advantage. You're only going to remember the time's one of these players gets lucky and rapes your chip stack, but keep in mind all the times you come out on top.
