Apologies for blowing you out of the water here, but Cersei is fucking awful at the game. As in, catastrophically terrible. Her mismanagement of power is exactly why King's Landing is in the shit place it is right now with the Faith Militant. And Jaime isn't really any better - or at least, we don't have any reason to think he is.

The only reason to think that they are any 'better' than the Starks is that the Starks don't really play the game at all. Except for maybe Sansa, and she's still relatively new and weak. And I'm totally in the camp that Littlefinger played her like a fiddle in the interaction at Mole's Town.
