Default Re: Do you keep losers happy?

I've this problem in reverse. Since I graduated from college 9 years ago, my poker friends have slowly moved out of town and left me with few to get a regular game together. I've relied on invitations from other hosts for live games and found them to invariably be waaaay soft. Several times now I've cleaned a game out twice and not been invited back the 3rd time. Most recently I received a 3rd invite and attended (20 dollar buy in with unlimited rebuys and escalating blinds), and cleaned the table out again...(up 180 end of night with 6 players). I'm not trying to own, but the game is soooooo soft. I've about a 10-15% roi at low limit sngs online so I'm not a shark by any stretch, but I've found myself folding better hands to the host of my most recent game on several occasions. one time I checked a set through hoping someone would bet out and I could fold (I was already up a bunch and only the host and one other player was left), but no one bet out and I was questioned about my play when we turned the cards over. I want to be invited back, but I don't think I will be if I don't start losing...but that's hard to do with this group. I bring cigars and beers evertime and joke around and compliment others' play consistently, but it's hard to hide the fact that you quadruple your buy in (or better) everytime you play. I've tried playing lag, and win. And I easily win playing tag. I'm not trying to brag, but wondering what you all would do. Should I start playing some really crappy cards for one night while folding the good ones? Would one night of giving back be remembered? Advice?
