yeah thats a good theory tommy, until you come up against someone who doesnt want to get beaten just as much as you... which is pretty much everyone you'll ever come up against at a big tournament.

then.... well. if they are fitter or faster than you, they'll simply be fitter and faster than you.

that's the great thing about big tournaments that everyone puts a lot of training into... pretty much everyone is as fit, strong, fast and determined as each other, and most guys will have similar hand-speeds and skills. (everyone is in the same ballpark at least, with maybe some exceptions) i guess that's what makes it interesting... thats where different styles of play and different tactics come into it.

often the biggest point of difference between players under pressure is their comfort level and confidence... but it sounds like you'll have an advantage in that respect.

you go girl!
