I haven't read the rest of the thread as I'm a badman (and I'm pissed and tired).
A month or so ago I started playing Squash and I was playing two people who were better than me, so they'd always quite comfortably beat me in games. One day me and my mate decided to go and the day before I'd been doing sprints. I hadn't realised how much this would affect me and basically I was slow and shit which made his time playing boring as he was demolishing me so he started playing worse on purpose and pretending he wasn't.
I have very rarely got so pissed off in my life. It wasn't like us going had cost us money, it was free for members and him trying to lie about it made it worse, to the point where I said if you are going to fuck or think I'm fucking about we may as well stop and go home.
If we are playing a game there are three things I have found we should do:
1) Play with people who are better than ourselves
2) Think about what we are doing
3) Ask for help when we don't understand
When I'm playing pool against someone and they ask me for help I will go out of my way to help them, if they think I'm being funny or horribly blunt after playing them for a while and explaining this then they haven't got the mentality for whatever it is we are playing and I'll stop playing with them.
tl;dr my first post
Ask them why they want to play whatever game it is you are playing.
