Last night I had one of my best league nights ever. I whooped my teammates on points so bad that they became visibly upset (up until last night they were both better than me). I was trying to figure out why I did so well and I noticed that I wasn't even nervous all night. My hands weren't even sweating. Even when I was running out I put down the 8 without even thinking, but before I had a problem with choking.
So here's the question to those who don't mind revealing a bit of weakness...: What, if anything, gets you nervous whilst playing pool?
Is it the money? The rep? The competition? For me I think I get nervous when I've had a bad practice or a bad game. After that I lose confidence in my skills and I start to sweat myself on every shot.
