Throwing Money Away - Intentionally Losing

[Irons]

Whew Some excellent stuff there, thanks fellas. I sure took quite a bit out of it. I hosted my second tourney last night, and took first place again.

I don't have a huge poker history and this is the first organized tournaments for many of the guys that came. I fealt bad for half-a-second when the two newest guys busted our first and second. But, when I asked them today if they had fun, it was a resounding yes. I wanted the home felt advantage, my tables, chips etc.

For only a $20 buyin no one is gambling with the rent money, and it is a chance to sit, drink, talk and smoke cigars with the guys.

Thanks again for the excellent posts. I'll see if I can make it 3 in a row.
