Step 1
Playing pool is a great hobby.Having to compete in pool is something totally different.How to handle the pressure in a serious competition is fairly difficult for some.If your already experiencing pressure before a game your second guessing your own talent's so you will probably lose.Until you can run table 8 out of 10 times pressure is not an issue practice is.

Step 2
Now saying you've practiced and game is good there should'nt be anymore doughting yourself.That was the first problem the elimination of dought.Now knowing from experience there is always going to be some pressure this is good keeps you on your toes.Now go find a bar or pool hall where no one know's you and start little competition's for a couple of buck's.

Step 3
When you win a few increase your wager what you can afford,This will increase the pressure a little no one want's to lose money.Now you can practice while your under pressure,that is the only way.Try to get some other shooter's in as well that way you can draw a crowd to watch.You have competition and a crowd to help you get use to the pressure of shooting in front of alot of people and a wager to increase the pressure of the game.Practice like that for a month and you will notice a big difference in performance and confidence.If that does'nt work hire a crowd of heckler's.lol
