dean you played too cheap. players all play lights out for peanuts. make them bet something that hurts when they lose and see what happens.
He could always just spot them for more cash. Why not do that? Would that not put pressure on him just as it would on them?
Raising the bet on someone that cannot afford it is...........ummm......kinda spinless JMO.
I know, I use to do it all the time and did not need the money but, did it anyway until I was taught better.

Dean:
I know you, like myself and others, do not have to worry about money so, do yourself a favor and raise the pressure on yourself and see if its "you" or "them" that folds while staying in their comfort zone money wise. Otherwise, you are not out playing anyone. You are nothing more than "high rolling" someone "that can beat you but cannot bet with you". Which type man does the former? What type player does the latter?
Trust me, it is an eyeopener.
Then again, I know you already know all of the above. I knew it at the time but, I had to be coaxed or led to water so-to-speak.
