This is bullsh*t. First off I agree with Renzey that I very rarely run into anything resembling another counter or ap at the tables unless its planned and I know them. But if its a good game and I do suspect another player to be an ap that I do not know, I want him off my table regardless of when I showed up. I do not defer my money making opportunities to anyone, period. I will agree that I do not want any negative attention brought upon myself, but I don't care one lick if its brought upon the other. And thats just the way it is. This common courtesy noise is nonsense. Its survival of the fittest, and if can get you the hell away from my good game, you damn well know thats whats going to happen. Its business, and I'm not in business to make unknown counters thrive. No apologies, if I am strong enough a player to remove another from my situation then thats what happens, and vice versa if they can remove me. But good luck with that.
