What Intimidates You?

[mosquito]

Observations have shown that people are intimidated by:

1. Relentless pressure.

2. Opponents that clearly have them outclassed, and know it.

3. Opponents that can anticipate your plays.

4. Easy confidence.

5. the list goes on, those were obvious to me......

Being NOT intimidated is a measure of self confidence, as well as knowledge of your own limitations and adapting to them.

I think fear is the reason for the intimidation, pinpointing the fear will help you to not be subject to its effects at all or as strongly.

Those are the two that intimidate me slightly. Also throw in an "appearance" during live play.

But for the most part I'm rarley intimated. That stuff usually just doesnt to me. I'm a confident poker player, and always feel I can outplay anyone I play against. (although of cource this isnt always true)
