What Gazzy 'does', I have no doubt, is exactly what a lot of professional poker players already do. It's no different from any industry where there are always people looking to climb above others in the pyramid to get ahead. It would be absurd for someone in the stocks industry to challenge another colleague to a fight purely because he believed his methods to be non ethical.
Don't let what you consider other people's 'problems' affect you so much. You (as we all do) clearly have some of your own personal problems that need to be addressed and I think it would be better to spend your time and effort in trying to improve those aspects of your life that you do have control over rather than worrying about someone else's issues that you do not.

Thank you I appreciate the advice and yes I should probably be focusing on other things. I'm not challenging him to a fight because of his actions at the poker table, but because he's continuing to call me small.
And while yes his actions seem rather innocuous in the grand scheme of things, they are still wrong and should be called out. I'm not a hypocrite, I've never asked another player for reads on other players. That's collusion and its wrong, again I know it seems innocuous but its not. It's literally teaming up to cheat another player out of his money in a very small way. Imagine being the other player at the table and the new player at the table has reads on him because another player was texting him. It's wrong.
For the record I don't think Gazzy is a bad person and under different circumstances we perhaps could have been friends.
And I don't pick fights with anyone I'm not an idiot. I ran cross country in high school I would run away from a fight before I'd let pride get me hurt. Except in this case.
