I am sure there are others in this boat out there. Say you play a bi-weekly home tournament with 15-20 people any given week with buy -ins only $20-$50 each time. If you got first or second every time (and I mean every time) and a lot of people are complaining and such saying things like, "yeah I'll be there Friday to donate my money). Would you throw a couple? I mean just for the sake of the game. I don't play for the money in these, just good fun with co-workers and friends.

There was a thread on this a while back that you might want to search for. I believe the consensus was, it's better to keep your friends and the game going, than to have a little extra money. Doing a little worse than average from time to time wouldn't be awful.

Maybe you should just try some new crazy strategy that will conversely make it possible for you to lose. This way you get to try something new and keep your friends happy by losing.
Now if you win playing this new way you are clearly to good for you home game and should move to Vegas ASAP. |

I got a particular video game because one group of pals was playing it. I got into it and played in some mid-level competitive matches. My best pal came over thinking that I was using hacks so as to mess with him. The 'home games' with these guys were never really that fun and we tend to play other things where they won't get pwnt.

Yeah, you've got to keep these people coming back. If you can consistantly place 1st or 2nd out of 15-20 people then there's plenty of money to be made.
Maybe finish up 4th-5th in a $20 event and place in the money in the $50 events? These players have to believe that they can beat you, that they can get lucky, etc. |

Obviously they realize you're a good player. If you really hanker a little better competition from them, and you see a bad play from one of them, throw out some constructive criticism.

Buy a copy of Super System and loan it out to them. If they get better, it will make you better.
