Seaweed, you need to make it very clear to your opponents that this is a battlefield and you will fight to the death to protect what is yours. Put your best scowl on and growl at critical points during hands. This will intimidate and psych out your opponents. They won't know what hit 'em.

Also, find a cheap pair of sunglasses. Do not remove them in sight of your opponents.
