$100 will get you $1 that it was a man who began the practice. I did a Google search for where it originated and the AI came up with this:najisami said:
"There is no single, definitively recorded first instance of a poker player calling their opponent "the villain." The term "villain" (along with "hero") became prevalent in poker terminology during the rise of online poker and poker training sites in the early 2000s."
Two things I noticed in that is that it probably comes from online poker, and not the live poker publications. That makes sense because online, aside from things like our leagues here at CardsChat, is very impersonal. It is much easier to regard someone as an enemy if you've never had any interaction with them face to face. During that time period poker was pretty much a boys club. I can remember playing at Foxwoods in the 90s to early 2000s and women were few and far between.
I jump on the extra money for a nice suite, although, as said, not much time is spent in the room.
To tell the truth, unless in a tourney, I end up spending more time enjoying the room than originally planned 😍
You can bet they expect you to gamble in their casino for a good amount of time, or you won't be invited back.

The suite sounds pretty sweet to me...I know my wife would love it...we got a jacuzzi suite room once, where the jacuzzi was not in the bathroom, but in the bedroom part itself...we learned a very harsh lesson...NEVER put bubble bath crystals in a jacuzzi!!!!! It reminded me of a 1958 movie starring Steve McQueen called "The Blob", where this alien life form just kept eating everything in it's path and growing and growing...half the room was filled with bubbles...it was hysterical...and the carpet was wet for the entire 3 day stay...there were no cell phones back then, but if we could have filmed it, it would certainly qualify for America's Funniest Home Videos!
Exactly 🤣. So, it becomes obvious that everyone agrees on spending $35 on a suite except one member.Igor G said:
And TBH, if it wasn't for my wife (to be), I think I would've been happy with the regular room too, giving that it's luxurious enough and especially that I barely spend any time in it.
