Nervous?
Hi all, I played my first Big slick poker tour event tonight and it was a lot of fun. I busted out after about an hour of playing but I enjoyed myself. I had like 3 blinds left and shipped it with 66 and lost to ATo.
anyways my question is does anyone have any tips on calming down before you start to play? I sat down and in like the first five hands I was just so nervous. It wasn't even for money! I just got a huge rush and couldn't relax and think. The third hand I got I played it to the showdown and didn't even realize it but I had 2 pair. I felt like a huge moron because I had no idea how I missed that. my head was not clear at all
Any help is appreciated!

Part of the game imo.
Terry Sawchuck fwiw..
Seriously though, just think what the others at your table must think of you, looking so menacing and all... Or at least imagine it...
It does get easier to relax, but I agree with Wetts, it is kind of part of the game
Also, Comp, we all know it's just a worry for you falling asleep before the tourney starts. You're up at 4am everyday!
Damn incontinence.....
well except when you have to deal if you're me.
