Limon,

Do you ever let them win the first time to set up a bigger win? Have you ever been involved in some The Color Of Money situation where someone allows you to let them win the first time, then lets you win the second time, and then hustles you the third time?

this doesnt really happen. bets dont grow like this (in general). if your going to play a weekly game you let your opponent win enough that he doesnt quit. some people almost never quit so you almost never let them win (this only happens in a group setting). if your going to play a one time game you just try to slaughter them right then and there. you decide what will get you more money/customers. usually its being nice and showing restraint. against some people though, the type who say, "what the [censored] do i care, its only a grand" those people respond better to a challenge.
