I was reminded of our conversation when I saw two middle aged men get into a twenty-minute dispute, with shouting, over who was going to move into a vacated seat. Obviously it escalated into dispute over who got into who's face, etc.

not sure, was adjacent table, probably 1/3NL. The one looked like a younger David Sklansky (balding, pot belly, oily). The other was early 60s, looked like could have been former stevedore or steel worker. The former obviously a gambler in every sense of the word

I was going to be annoyed if this came from a professional-level table; it’s so much more ridiculous at 1/3.

B only got in A's face because "if you get in my face, I'mma get in your face."

That aspect has a distinctly NLHE feel to it; like, I’d never place that at a Razz table, back in the day or now. I think there’s a machismo multiplier in the big-bet games, especially at small stakes.

Also, in games where people know who gets the odd chips in a quartered pot, people also know who gets the open seat. Like, maybe everyone individually doesn't know, but it's not the sort of thing you can just talk about without getting corrected definitively.
