There’s the old meeko!

I especially like this:

I think he’s fallen back on his tendancy to think this is an individual game.

The Vig is Town. If an action is bad for Town, it is bad for the Vig.

Of course, he’s still taking more things personally\* than he should be, but I don’t think we’ll ever see that go away.

\*Not in an offended way, but in a ‘how is this related to meeko’ way.
