Default Re: Trying to \"Lose\" - home game question

I wouldn't throw anything. Hell, I'd trap my Grandmother and bust her.

Here's what you can expect as an unexpected consequence of your solid play: No players in your raised pots. While this is nice for stealing blinds, there are few things more frustrating when you don't get action on your trips, or everyone folds to your preflop raise with AA.

I've been in a live rebuy the last four months. The first time, 18 players, I finished 9th. The second, 16, I finished 3rd. The third, 26 players, I won. The fourth, 29 players I finished 4th. These guys are scared to play a pot with me, because I almost always are ahead of them when they do.

But don't throw one. Do your friends a favor by taking their money, so they improve their play.
