LOL..I've found that on these poker forums. Thing is, I'm a caddie. On a regular basis I walk with sports stars, politicians , and even billionaires that run this country. I am carrying the golf bags of people that can buy the highest earning poker pro 100+ times over. These people own boats (when I say boats , I mean 100ft+ floating mansions) top pros couldn't afford. I laugh at pretentious poker players really.
The funny thing is, most of these accomplished businessmen have a surprisingly better attitude and character make up than our "I'm better than you cause I play 20/40 on the regular, but really have nothing substantial to show for it because I'm always teetering on broke" poker players. Not saying all higher limit players are that way, but more than likely the person that is boasting in this manner is. Never bothers me, again, I carry the golf bags of people that are much more impressive in life. Couple lessons to learn from this:
1) Money just enhances ones character (if your a dic before you came into money, your going to be a bigger dic when you have it, and vice versa).
2) Never judge a book by its cover (Most live players make their money elsewhere and venture to a table to donk the never ending BR from their business or job.Giving the impression that they are actually good players.. never having actually earned what they play through grinding poker.)
3) There's always going to be a douche that thinks he/she is better than you because they have more money ( biproduct of low self esteem)
4) There's always gonna be someone that has waaaay more money than you (why be that dic?)

I like this idea.2-10 maybe w/ a $3-$5/hr time charge. This would be a game to use only blues as well. Along w/ 2-4 (if they ever get that up) and 4-8. I would think this would be a good reason to spread the 2-4 when expansion comes. From a business perspective you now would have 4-5 games (20 tables at least) using most all of the blue chips the poker room has in stock. Freeing the ability to take blues off the nl games and 8/16+ games.
I don't think blues should be on 8/16. It looks great when a mountain of blues are pushed to you and your barely visible behind your stack, but given the table size and seat spacing green felt is a precious commodity. Having to try and fit through the 2 mountains of chips on either side of you constantly to fold a hand w/ out making a mess would be a pain in the azz IMO.
Giving the dealer a break from having to push a 2ft by 2ft 10 pound mountain of chips (spreading across 2 players) regularly would be nice for them as well imo. Not to mention saving 5-15 seconds of wasted time negotiating the pay off (for all the "keep the cards in the air" folks).Split pots...wow.
