Hey guys
I wanted to know how many of you still get nervous when you first sit down at the tables? What do you do to calm yourself and play your best hands possible. I noticed that I have to win a few small to medium sized pots in order to get my confidence up then I can really to rolling. I've also noticed that I've become very superstitious as well while at the tables. For example, I took a sit at the table and I get 77s in middle position. My girlfriend calls during the hand and I'm contemplating what to bet. She asks "How much longer are you going to be?!" and right then I muck the hand!! Something just said get out of the hand ASAP! I finish the call and now I wanna see what cards would have been had I stayed. The cards were...5d 6h 8s Qs 4d!! Missed a damn straight! So now I ignore phone calls if I'm in a hand.
What methods would you guys suggest I use (besides drinking..) to calm down?!
