Rock Venting (no content)

[beekeeper]

This is just a vent, but replies are welcome.

At our home game there is a guy so tight everyone calls him the rock. I'm pretty sure he takes this as a compliment--he even uses a rock for a card protector. Away from the table he is a nice, friendly guy. At the table, he's beginning to wear a little thin.

My vent? He whines about paying the blinds and complains when anyone raises a pot on his bb. Even when we've just started and the blinds are low, if the blinds are coming around to him and they are close to going up, he tries to hurry people to act on their hands so he can make his blind before it goes up. If you raise the pot on his blind he complains about it until someone else raises his blind.

Personally, I like being in the blind. To me it's like playing a hand for free if it's unraised, as I don't consider my blind my chips anymore. Plus, I feel like you have a great chance of winning a big pot from the blind since you can have a disguised hand.

Anyone else have this guy at your table? Have you said anything to him about it?
