Unless of course, you are looking to be trained on poor etiquette.
I only wish Limon was commentating to lay into him...Bear jew did a good job saying how ridicoulous it was, such as saying, it would be the equivelant of asking harry to remove his drink from the table.

I played on that episode. Two other things that bugged me about him at the table. We engaged in one round of mandatory strattle he was the only player not to strattle. Weez seat 5 told him you owe us a strattle for next round said ok and still avoided the strattle. 2. He bought drinks for the booth and said what are the cheapest shots to the waitress she replied with 5 dollar shot or w/e he says send those to the booth (at the time I thought trolling) until I saw him tip her 1 dollar for 3 drinks. I like making friends w/ people at the table/ commentators on the show because everyone has something to give but I will not go out of my way after seeing these 3 things of poor etiquette and making the game less enjoyable.
This spot is very interesting because I know both guys and I know they are nice dudes. The "problem" with doug is he is "by the book", this is respectable but not necessarily profitable once you enter a pool of regs.
Doug is a vegas player and, in my experience, vegas players tend to be 10x more "by the book" than los angeles players. the reason is vegas players deal with tourists and LA pros deal with regulars. You cant be "by the book" with regulars or soon youll find no action.
So now "aces" tells me hes never playing with that "doug jerk" again. I told him doug's a good guy at heart just a bit of a rules nit and he shouldnt take it personal. I told him to slowroll the **** out of doug the next time they play and doug should look forward to this payback because it means hes really won the war and not a short term battle. It does no good to see the hands of recreational opponents who will avoid you and never play with you again.
