I agree with what others said - at the age of 13 play him like you would any other and educate him afterwards on his "Leaks". If he were younger (like under 10) I may lean towards letting him win for confidence sake.

I play in a game where the neighbors 15 year old son plays ($100 buy in tourney- he plays with his own money). Nobody takes it eay on the "kid" becaue he's ony 15 - he like other younger players plays a LAG game and either is in the tourney at the end or busts out early. The kid has a good sense for the game and a great disposition - doesn't get upset and bratty when he loses or "In your face" when he wins.
