Default Re: Getting thrown out of a Vegas poker room

Remember the Jim Rome/Jim Everett interview where he kept calling him "Chris Everett" and finally Jim Everett came after him? If we're playing poker, I guarantee I can get you riled with just non obscene words. Whether it's going ethnic, going appearence, going age,sexuality or whatever else you may be sensitive about. It's not hard to raise someone's blood pressure -- stopping when it's clear that banter has begun to get someone enraged is something I've done loads of times in casino games. I don't want to play at tables where everyone is nuts -- even if there may be some short term value in tilting opponents, the long term value to my enjoyment of the game and expectation is negative. Again, it's just common sense.
