Bert telling Eddie that he was a pool player was ''duh'' dialogue

It was never in question.

Eddie told Bert that he had just lost $20
in a poker game. Then Bert told him that
poker wasn't his game, but that pool was.

So? What is your point?

Not sure he has one. Bert was like, "What are playing poker for, you're a pool player." What's wrong with that dialogue? Especially the half-sarcastic way Bert put it, almost like he's calling Eddie an idiot.
