In a home game that we have once a month, we've been withholding $25 to the player that wins the most money during the year so there's $300 and it gets paid exclusively to the first place player. I'm in third place and can only win the prize if 1) enough people show up 2) the 2nd and third place players make no money (or possibly if they just win their money back) and 3) I win the tournament.



Should I play differently against the first and second place players? If so how? They'll probably want to make sure to get some $$, and they also probably want to make sure that the other two in the top three don't get $$. Should I play more aggressively against them since the value of knocking them out is higher to me?
