He made the mistake of showing his hand while another player was still in the hand, and decide to yell at the poor woman for about 15 minutes because she was covering her hand...I was not at the table, but the last thing you do is yell at someone for your own mistake. Especially when the woman looked as if she didn't play a lot of poker. I'm sure people who play Lumiere regularly know who I am talking about...he looks like the typical high school nerd, very pale, and wore a hat backwards that said "Ship It!!" on it. Essentially a huge loser who's only pleasure in life was pretending he's better than everyone at poker. I didn't play with him, don't know if he's any good...but he's a huge douche in life.

It annoys me that I know who that guy is, and I'm talking about him. But he is the quintessential Douche. He basically wears his little poker costume (Shades, Personalized poker sayings shirts/hats, etc). I think he shops at Aeropostale for Kids.
I play at Lumiere probably 3 times a week or so. Just the 1-3NL lately since they seemingly never run the 2-5. I used to play Harrah's 2-5, but haven't been to AStar in about 3 years for a few reasons.
Compared to when I used to play at Harrah's 2-5, it seems like the risk:reward is much better at Lumiere. I win about the same as I did at 2-5, but when I do have a bad night I'm losing 250-300 instead of 500-750.
And you can still take away decent money on a good night.
The thing I hate about the 1-3 compared to 2-5 though is the people who buy in for the $100. I can't play against short stack players, and they normally don't have any clue what they're doing. Yet I always double them up, which they dump off back to you or elsewhere on the table eventually.
I wish I had enough money to throw around to play the 5-10. Most of the players are the same ones who play 1-3 at Lumiere or used to play 2-5 at Harrahs.
Some really good players, others average with money to blow...
