How did you overcome the pressure the first hour of your first WPT ?
I am playing Foxwoods next month and it's my first major event, I have a question to those who have played in the WPT or WSOP, how did you overcome the pressure and nervousness in the first hour or two of that tournament? I know it may sound like a strange question but I'm sure everyone has felt that way at the begining, what did you do?

You will get over being nervous once you rake your first pot. Remember that you have an advantage of being an unknown. Good luck.

Very funny..... any helpful response? [/ QUOTE ] start off playing very cautiosly, and hope that you're lucky enough to have a worldclass player or 2 at your table. i know its not great in that you likely won't be +EV at the table, but long term +EV can be huge. play very tight early, and just watch any great players closely, and study the way they play. you mostly won't get to see their hands, but as you watch them you'll see just how little their hands matter in the great scheme of things. you'll need to watch the other players too b/c then you'll be able to tell what the good players are thinking when you watch them. you'll get to tell how all the other factors envolved in the decisions usually are more important than the actual hand the pro has. i've only played 1 WPT, but for me it was an invaluable experience, and ever since then i've been actually thinking about the right things more often when i play. and i feel like it also opened my mind more to be able to analyze the situation more fully. of course things can get more complicated then, but its also necesarry to keep challenging your beliefs if you want to keep improving.

Think about your game.
Think about adjustments you need to make to your game vis a vis deep stack Execute your game + adjustments Easier said than done but that's what I did in the main event, and i did pretty well.
