Good article. I agree that it's out of control but I also find many of it amusing. Here's a funny situation from last night while i'm on a .10/.25 NL table:
Two others are in a hand. Under the gun there was a raise 4 x BB. Then there was a call in position. Flop came out 234 rainbow. The original raisor led out with an all in bet and turns out to have KK. Horrible overbet but that's not the point. He gets a call from the other guy who had A5 and the straight took it down.
For the next half hour the loser of that hand flips out and he kept calling the guy amateur over and over again. Finally I couldn't handle it anymore so I jumped in with "There's 2 things incredibly wrong with what you are saying, 1. Pro's don't play on micro tables and 2. Pro's don't go all in with there K's betting there $23 stack into a $2 pot. That really got him going.
