On one side, if I drive down to CAZ and offer to play 80/160 mix, what are the chances that I get to pick all the games if I wanted? I'm guessing ~100%. In the somewhat predatory world of poker, the worst player at the table is getting slack. Not being able to play mix games and being wiling to buy in, middle-aged fish guy likely gets a lot of latitude. This to say, "there are plenty of
rules that who you are matters for bending". If the game is fun and the bad players want to shout "Raise Me You LOSERR!!!", fine. Fun and gamesmanship.
The flip side is I'm bothered by the reaching in the muck stuff. Especially when the hand isn't over, what happens when she grabs a live hand in a live pot and either flashes it or mucks it? Now whole pots are at risk. There's a line somewhere, and even the worst players shouldn't cross it. If this isn't over, it is close. Things could go really wrong if this is allowed to happen. You'd hope good dealers and floor people could stop this stuff tactfully, and not kill the game.
