So I arrive and first thing I notice is that the home is an effing mansion. I'm talking about 26 rooms with 2 pools type of mansion and I am feeling a bit intimidated as I walk through the portal (not door mind you but portal).

I know limit isn't appealing when you're looking for big-bet games, but couldn't you just have chalked up the evening to a simple game of cards for fun and NOT come across as an arrogant SOB?
You could have donked it up for a few hours, then gracefully extracted yourself and turned down future invitations.
I understand that you felt mislead by your slave, and you could have chewed him out later, but I think your reaction was a bit over the top, Rott. Unless you are 100% against meeting new people and playing to play....
Hell, you could have treated it as training for not tilting. :P
