If I can beat my cell phone at five card draw does that mean I'm any good?

😀 Ok this may seem like a stupid question but I'm serious. I am not, nor have I ever been, a gambler/card player. For the past few weeks though I've been playing five card draw on my cell phone and just completely dominating all the computer players. I haven't lost at all. I think it's because I'm not afraid to fold and I probably do so half the time.
So the question is does this mean a damn thing? How do you think I would stack up against real players?

Nope. You're playing without taking the human equation into consideration.

Only one way to find out. Find a local game which is either cheap or free to play in.

you have to loose sometimes, I don't care how good you are, luck can't always be on your side 🙂 with that said, only way you'll find out is to go play for real and see if your luck carries over.

Yes! Go! Make millions!

Since you have gained incredible skilz at poker on your phone, you should probably stick with what you know and pump cash into the video poker machine. Bet the max every hand for quickest winnings!
 
You're better than you were, but the programmers are only able to make the computer player react in a formulaic manner. Such as :90% best odds, 10% bluff. Raise or lower those number if they want to be as fancy as to add "different personalities".

I've been playing a fairly good Hold'em game on my Pocket PC, and I think it's raised my game, but I know I can't rely on it as my sole source of learning...

Good point about the formula.
