"... the regulars you will see again, well, tomorrow, and the next day, and the next. clearly the regulars are not thinking at your level and likely are not as good as you, thus your admonition only wisened them up some..."


You almost have a real point here, but I think a counter-point might make it more clear exactly why Clarkmeister is pissed in the first place.


First off, these regular players are in fact a bunch of clueless jerks for the most part. They certainly don't need to read no books as they were born already knowing it all plus some more than that too. However, despite their complete cluelessness, and despite the fact that Clarkmeister is clearly the superior player, these people have such incredibly tight grips on thier wallets that you can't hardly eek enough out of them to take a trip down to the nickel slots at circus-circus after playing with them for nearly 75 years. They out rock the rockiest of rocks with their incredible tightness. It's ingrained in their incredibly dynamically dull and dreadful personalities. The scowls on their faces are permanant and can't be un-done. But the bigger problem with these personality-less jerks is that they drive off the true fish with their scowls and incessant bitching. Someone calls heads up on the turn for a gutshot. They get there. The Vegas regular bitches for over half an hour.


Well what did you want him to do, FOLD? HE WAS *OBVIOUSLY* MAKING A *MAJOR* MISTAKE BY CALLING YOUR BET, WHICH IMPLIES THAT BY THEIR CALLING, YOU WERE OBVIOUSLY BENEFITTING!!!!


It drives me nuts. Shut the hell up and go the hell home, you are ruining what was a great game until you sat down in it!
