First off that problem with the other player beating you, when in fact you can probably take him. This has happened to all of us at one time or another, what i usually do is start playing the person and not the table. Stop thinking about the fact, THAT HE SHOOTS NEXT AND IF YOU MISS HE'LL RUN OUT AND YOU'LL LOSE. Let you opponent be a ghost, dont think about the past, if you cant run out, safety his butt up. When i start playing smart i start playing good and thus i will win. Relax have fun and play like you practice.

I always seem to have a game going, not because i'M THAT GOOD BUT PEOPLE HAVE FUN when they play me. You need to have two speeds one for gambling and tournaments and another for friendly games and having fun. If you have to win every game no matter what then you will never have fun in this sport. To be able to control you emotions and turn it on and turn it off is the is the power some seem to lack.

TAP,TAP,TAP
I have to say you said it the best I have ever heard it put.
