I think slowplaying gives your opponents free or cheap cards. If a dangerous card hits the board, your nuts could turn into a losing hand.

In my opinion, the quickest way to lose a tournament is playing too many hands and letting emotions take over after a bad beat. Patience and good decision-making are the keys to long-term success.

This are all bad plays and/or ways to approach the game - if you have this issues it's time to work on it and fix this leaks (some are still OK if you're aware of it and it's done for 'fun' in a friendly game * like for example slowplaying the nuts...); still if the question is in general What's the quickest way to lose a tournament? , IMO the answer is none of the above lol - just go All In with any 2 every hand and the tournament will be over extremely fast :LOL:

I think all the options proposed will work. Other suitable approaches include playing any good hand up to the river regardless of other players' bets, playing every hand, playing at multiple tables, and more.

To be dealt kings or aces first hand, to call an all-in or to re-raise all-in. I've lost count the number of times that has happened to me or I've seen it to happen to someone else.
