Simply put, it's just really hard to play anyone, much less a WCP, when he has the momentum in the match.

Since "momentum" presumably has nothing to do with the actual cards being dealt (but, instead, how you play them), couldn't this be another way of saying "playing worse when you're down"?

I'm serious, btw - obviously I lack this kind of HSHU experience, but my experience with HU action has been that momentum causes the opponent to play far less than optimally.
