Good post, I agree with everything you wrote. When you have a player berating you for playing too aggressively and costing "extra rake" or pushing the third player out of the pot, that's a very good sign. This player sucks, and he'll be a lucrative person to have at the table with you.

I forget--were you Vader from the other night? I think you were, but not sure. Anyway, I thought that guy (you, probably) played very well in that session. I remember thinking your game could easily win at much higher levels, although it sounded like wifey might protest.
