Default Re: Nervous!

You need to really figure out what is making you nervous/scared when you play. You might want to ask this in the Psych forum.

If you are nervous becaues the money means too much to you, then I suggest you immediately drop in limits. But I expect that's not really the issue.

Do you generally feel uncomfortable in new situations or in situations where you think others know more than you? If so, this feeling will probably pass as you gain more experience.

The real key, I think, is to get to the root of why you feel this way when you play. Have you tried playing live? I wonder how you'd feel if you could see your opponents.

Again, probably the folks in the Psych Forum can offer more insights. There are real psychologists there who can at least give you some direction.

Regards,

T
