I'm seeking advice on how to deal with bullying when it occurs, and deal it with directly with the bully so that it stops. A response that addresses this specifically would be the most helpful to me. I hope it exists. I'm preemptively going all in that this comment is going to spark only negative backlash, providing more evidence of my presumed negative personality traits, but hopefully a one outer hits.

Don’t ask me why I got drunk (standard). Don’t ask me why I drove (yawn). Don’t ask me how my car ended up in a 7-11 (meh). Just tell me how to keep from getting buttfuqqed tonight.
The truth is the beginning of the hand is the MOST important part…BY FAR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART. Just like w/ 9 ball every shot sets up the next shot(s)."

Life works this way, too. You shouldn't get in the gutter with him. He's going to beat you with experience. You're not going to win with violence. Getting thrown out isn't going to stop it. If you had the emotional make up to ignore or make a joke of it, you would have done it. The easiest way is to start over in another group and be more sociable so that you have some allies to help you. Failing that, you're going to need to repair your image with the other regulars. That is going to take place over time.
I know the kid vinny isn't gonna want to hear this but you dont just get to come and nit it up full on aspergers style and take peoples money in peace and quiet and personal luxury. The people LOSING the money get to get their moneys worth. they are paying for the right to act like Neanderthals. guess how long a table of vinnys would last? about 10 minutes, guess how long a table of deep pocket Neanderthals will last....FOREVER. Suck it up buttercup, the game isn't there for you, its there for them, the money is there for you...IF, you can realize its all a hustle and keep your place at the table.
