Do ever lose a game intentionally, and if so why, and if not why not?

I never lose on purpose but I might make a bad or risky move on purpose if Im not really interested in playing or Im bored.

I have thrown a game and let my mother win on her birthday. We played for chocolate chips. She enjoyed it very much. Most everyone at the table needed me to write a list of hand rankings so they would know which hands won. The most important thing was that everyone had fun.

Yes i do lose intentionally sometimes. But only for legit reasons.
1: if the internet start to give trouble I'll just leave the game because its difficult to play when the game keeps disconnecting you.

2: if I have something important to go and do. If an emergency comes up.

But these 2 is the only reasons why I'll lose intentionally.

Lost, because I got tired or if it's too short gave the chips the big stack.

I lose intentionally when I'm playing with the wife and kids.

As for online I just sit-out if I have to leave a game early. I punt stacks sometimes but it's not intentional and stings a bit.:bike:

Yes horrible truth here sometimes lose on purpose when 1 Internet bad and it is all or fold for fear of disconnect 2 Have to leave house for important reason3 silly I know but sometimes I do be so tired playing tournaments sessions 14 or 15 hours in just keep jamming QJ KJ ect looking for the relief of getting knocked out and going asleep in the past am ashamed to say I fell asleep playing 109 and 215 dollar tourneys through exhaustion of long day in work followed by long night on poker tables probably cashed for more than if kept playing though lol.
4 probably the worst one sometimes after a bad beat on a table the next game I open due to tilt I jam terrible hands thinking that well I lost to terrible hand maybe I will win with terrible hands.
5 some tourneys give tickets for lets say 20 or 30 players equal ticket value but play down to winner so as no monetary value here I just jam want to be knocked out and collect my ticket 6 Bad bankroll management putting to much money on certain games when know I should not hope this helps guys can not think of a 7th reason

I have never lost my purpose, I have made risky moves and I have already paid hands for believing that the opponent was bluffing, but I do not believe that these actions make me lose my purpose.

I have lost on purpose as part of creating an impression of ineptitude in a live game with unfamiliar opponents.

you have to be suicidal to try to lose yourself intentionally :)), why do you get money? to enrich others? I do not understand this !
When falls my internet, make a hot spot on my phone, and if I drop off the power supply, let go of the generator ... I'm ready for anything in any situation.

Hi Robmrjet, beginners usually do not control their own stacks

I've lost a few times on purpose. Especially when I'm bored or the game has gone on too long and i'm not winning much. Sometimes important things come up and I have to go so i'll go all in. Scary thing is sometimes i go all in and I end up winning.

Lose no but in free rolls or very low buy in I defiantly make plays to,get chip early with a mind set of chip up or be done. I also may call if I'm pretty sure I'm losing to see what the other player is betting with if the price s right and my stack is big enough

Sometimes when it is getting late and i am playing in a freeroll, i will go all and commit suicide. To finish the game.:)
If i am in the money and the games drags on i will just use autoposting and let the game carry on.

Once in a tournament, the firealarm came on, and i had to go, the hand i had was QQ.
When i came back, from what was a false alarm, i had AA, but was sitting out and not able to play the card. Bad beat :D

I lose too much unintentionally already!

Most people realize going in that poker is a zero-sum game - in order for there to be a winner there must also be a loser.

Good luck to you! :D

Actually yes, I lost already intentionally. Sounds strange, but it is like this. :eek:
I did it, when I was playing a satellite and there was 2nd and 3rd places paid with money and only the winner got a ticket for a further tourney in which I was not so interested at this time. So I decided to loose on the second place.
But usually I don't do this, if possible. :D
