Are most poker players wankers?

I don;t think there is anything wrong with ratholing, I just dont agree with it strategically. We could have this discussion ad nausem though.

i think that it is pretty much a well proven fact at this point that most players are filled with traits that arent exactly socially desireable. even with the amount of sanitizng that we see for wpt or wsop events, there is a lot that they let through that shows the seedy underside of these players and their lives.

i think that this probably trickles down to the lower levels as well, and i am never surprised when there is some complete asshole at my table. i guess it is just a hazard of the game.

My very first experience at a B&M cardroom was at the Taj in Atlantic City and I had played on-line for a while but still posted on various sites asking about things I should and should not do when playing in a live room and I really thought I was ready, was determined to act in turn, not reach for the pot I had won, etc... and sure enough when I got my seat the floor pointed me in the general direction and got called away and of course I sat in the wrong seat, well I tried to sit in it anyway, my ass wasn't even in the seat before there was an uproar from at least 3 people at the table, you would have thought I shut down the game. Would it be so bad to let the dealer tell me I was in the wrong seat?

That brings up another issue, would it be so bad to let the dealers run the game? I know they make mistakes and you should point it out when they do, but give them the chance, sheesh.
