I haven't played in the afternoon for a long time. I came from the realization that my body actually prefers to wake up a 4 pm. But I do remember playing against (insert government employee), but yeah, they did play bad.

I think that the nail here is that they are trying to blow off some steam. Surely, these people aren't going to take a hour out of their otherwise busy day and fold.

I think that, especially in the case of said governmant employees, throwing around chips makes them feel richer than they really are. I think that is the case with chips period. You simply don't realize the drastic change in numbers until your stack is depleted or obscenely huge. Oppose that to a number in your face.
