Is there +EV in loosing on purpose? Here's a hand I had last night. I knew I was beaten but wanted to show a loss because it seemed that villains had stopped playing back at me. This seemed like a good opportunity to loose a small pot with a hand that would make it look like I couldn't get away from a pocket pair. Is there any value in this or am I just being an idiot?
