not really analogous. appreciating getting sucked out on requires you to distance yourself from the immediate loss you suffered, and realize it's indicative of bad play that will benefit you in the long run. in the case of a massive obvious tell, they are straight showing you their hand. no long term philosophical perspective needed -- you save money instantly.
only reason i can think of for being bothered is the implied insult that you are dumb enough to fall for such an obvious ruse. but they think the ruse is really clever, so it's actually hilarious and nothing but enjoyable.
