How to lose 120BB in big bet poker without really trying

Simple answer #1: pay everyone off.

The rationales:

Don’t believe that someone called your 3SB pre-flop raise with a 3 when two of them hit the flop.

Don’t believe that someone raised 1SB pre-flop with anything that could make use of the two 3’s that hit the flop. Hey, I see a pattern here.

Push with your trips and a flush draw when your opponent has a boat.

Simple answer #2: turn into a weak player when someone minimum raises your two pair on the flop.

Part of the problem is that the loose tables I’m targeting also tend to have a few aggressive players. The upside is great; the downside equally great. I’m far too eager to want to get a piece of the action for my own good.
