You know while the players love tourneys you have to consider several things. First off the green fee is going to the tourney director. The rest of the money goes to the pot. The owner of the room meanwhile kicks in extra dough. So he started the day 1k in the hole. Now he has 10 tables out of business for two days, that hurts bad on a weekend when you make must of your week's take. Pool players like mountain dew and red bull much more than beer especially while they are being competitive. End of the day the bar is not making up the difference and when an event comes through the businesses usually lose. It sucks, I am friends with a room owner and he's broken it down to me that it is much more profitable to run business as normal on a weekend than put on a tourney and have his tables taken up for free.
About your experience specifically give him a second chance you have no idea of his situation. He may be two weeks late on a lease payment and is literally counting pennies trying to keep his room open. End of the day anyone can seem like an ass under the right circumstance. I'd give it another shot and talk to the room owner a little on the side and tell him what you saw and felt went on. You may get comped for the night and freeroll a night on the table of your choice. You may get it crammed deep up your.....either way you wont know til you try. Give him a shot. He opened the room to promote pool and help the players...no one would make that kind of investment to try to trump someone.
