Default Re: Throwing Money Away - Intentionally Losing

Intentionally lose?! Never! When playing a tournament, try a Bounty.

If you are dominating the home game, and the other players know it/are getting bored with it/are getting frustrated, etc., then suggest putting a bounty on your head.

Each of the other players in the game throws $2, $5, $10 (whatever level works) into a side Bounty pot. Whoever knocks you out of the game gets the Bounty pot.

You become the target, the other players get more aggressive against you, and whoever knocks you out gets the extra cash (might be equivalent to 2nd place money, if they put in enough). Since they get more aggressive against you, you can continue to play your A game.

If you're playing a cash game, just smile, tell jokes, stay loose, make it enjoyable, and take their money. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
