I'm gonna agree, to the extent that it mighta been needlessly aggressive. A simple "sorry, I got you there" and laughed with him instead of embarrassing him mighta made for a more pleasant time.

Agreed. Kudos for having the balls to acknowledge criticism.

But I think I reaped rewards throughout the rest of the session because of this incident.

How so? Honest question. You implied in your post that the guy was thrown out for his outburst. So you can't have made more money from him. Did others start giving you excessive respect or something?

To the posters that insist poker must be played as if we're all English gentleman at a cricket match: Grow up. One can be friendly, and we all like that, as it makes for a better time, but my sole intent is to take your money. That's the idea. If what I do to do so falls within the rules then I'm within my rights.

Yeah, yeah, sure. But just because you're at a poker table doesn't give you a free pass to be a dick. You are still in a public space with other people around. Don't do anything you wouldn't do in a bar, I say.
