Imagine the scene, first time I get up from behind the screen and decide to try bricks and mortar, i pootle off to the local casino, pay my way into a comp and I'm greeted by two of the most friendly and accommodating guys you could possibly meet. They asked me if this was my first time in a live game and offered me a run through of the rules and procedures of a live game, i couldn't have asked for a better and more approachable entry into what is quite an intimidating environment. As the night drew on, a cash game was started, great another window into this world of live poker! at some point, however, the atmosphere changed. Something of a debate had started over the rake... Now I'm not sure, but not since i was eight years old have i truly thought that throwing a tantrum was the way to behave, harassing someone who is clearly not a baby eater, and who has obviously taken the point being made on board, (but was not in a position to do some thing about it there and then), sulking , and then finally walking out in a huff that only a pop diva would have been proud of. Now obviously i don't know if this is the usual way poker players communicate with those who are trying to provide an honest and enjoyable environment for them to play in, but hey, i don't think i was the only one who was thinking, "Grow up, why don't you, you've had your say now play the game".
