I don't get nervous at all and that's the truth. I think it's because of how much I'm thinking about the hand and what I'm going to do with it, and maybe I just don't notice any. Anyway I'm just glad I don't get bent out of shape about anything. The only 2 different ways I get at the table are happy and feeling good, or bored as hell, and soon quit when I'm probably down a little, and feel I probably will lose the whole buy in if I don't. Playing MTT's I'm laid back to start with, just trying to pick up some chips along the way. After the first break I start playing different by playing different hands, and get more aggresive in the right positions. And the closer I get to the bubble the crazier I get and may do anything at any time. But even if I'm on the bubble I pay it no attention. You all may not believe that but it true and really can be done. My whole point here and the bottom line for me is that if I'm nervous and playing scared money, how can I think of how to control the outcome of the hand and take the pot, or what to do when I feel behind, or many many things we all need to think about during every hand. No I don't mean let the clock run down if you are going to fold. Just take some time to think before you click anything. But any player should be very nervous when making big bets early with questionable hands. You more than likely will get called or raised, and most of the time you will lose your bet because the raise is to much to call with the hand, that is if you have the sense to fold. We all should be real nervous also when making a stone cold bluff without putting enough chips out there to move other players. Someway you have to make a believer out of them even with nothing. I don't suggest doing any crazy things like this without a few years experience trying it. I get caught a lot, but I win more.
