Briefly...

Some players know the numbers to the nth degree. Others have at least a
vague clue about it. Some just like to donate.

It still comes down to all the odds in the world not helping you if you
don't know how to play your hand.

Lastly, it's not just the cards you need to know, but you should be able
to read the other players as well to be successful.
