Perhaps the pros are frustrated because they have to change the way they play to beat them... Poor babies. Perhaps they're frustrated for getting donked out of tournies... Poor babies. Perhaps they resent the fact that many internet players are learning what took it took the pros years to master in only a matter of a few months... Poor babies. Perhaps their inflated egos won't allow they to admit that these internet players are becoming just as good or better than them.
A good professional knows to keep the live ones happy, so why would they make such comments?

I agree with this. Almost all of the insanely CRAZY moves I've seen in WSOP or WPT coverage have come from internet players. They are nutso. There's one guy (and he's really pretty good) plays his sets and his GUTSHOT straight draws the same way. ALL-IN on the flop. Are you f'n serious? He constantly pushes with his gutshots? Maybe they're gutshots with overcards, but still that's nuts. And yes, this guy makes serious money.
So a pro would be pissed to play a guy like this. Because it's against convention, difficult to play against, and considered stupid. But they win.
