Also, after all of this reading, remember...... YOU are at the table. He is sweatin' it worse than you. Make him feel it when you finish him. Real winners have to almost feel contempt for their opponents. Look at the players you are, and would be scared to get off of the stool and play. They have that look in their eyes. You too can have that look. Trust your stroke. I know plenty of players that can torture a lot of players for $5 a game, but for the hill-hill game for $300, they find a way to lose. You have to become that player that wants the final shot with three seconds to go. The one who wants the ball, always. Remember, stop waiting for the guy to beat himself, and make him feel YOU beating him.
