Were I there and the host was wanting to go to sleep, I'd probably have advocated for a chop or something. However, it now sounds like poker was still going to keep happening, so I'd probably have petitioned to keep the structure the way it was advertised.
But now it's over, so *shrug* and move on.

The world isn't black and white. I don't know where the line is, but $30 to me is below it.
At least it is at this point in my life. A few years ago I got really bent out of shape over something very minor at a $20 or $40 tournament, because I was dead broke and every dollar mattered. Thankfully, my employment situation and budgeting abilities have improved since then.

Wars are waged "on principle".
If you're angry over the principle of something, then it's probably best to walk away. Righteous anger is unproductive. This is a lesson hard-learned in my life.
