Thankyou for your thoughts, I agree with everything and I think you're right about his playing for the audience.

There is ruder behavior true, but the thing is that it's a small group of people that play at this place, and everyone else is so friendly that this moment really stood out. The poker here is is just starting out and the manager appreciates input from anyone who sounds like they know what they're talking about. I suspect he will actually do something although I'm not sure what. He had already heard something about the incident and we agreed to talk about it later. It's not a case of me complaining, just 2 people discussing a situation that affects us in the same way (we both have an interest in the long term health of the game). I suspect that he might already have talked with others that were there as well. Anyway I'll find out his thought on Friday.
