demons in my head

[khizzy]

i think i need some help,in a recent local tournament i lost a pre lim round 2-0 where i was the favorite to win the tournament and was making centuries at will in practice,i simply dont know what went wrong i missed just one long pot in the first frame and went into a coma,probably i was thinking too much about the next round which was a bit tough,please help me out,its happening again and again,im losing confidence in myself.

thanks
another problem i felt that i often do is that i tend to change my cueing style i mean the way i address the ball whenever im not playing well during a match and in practice too,any advice on that.

Good post above 1lawyer. I would reccommend some time away from the game to re-focus as I always find this helps my game. Dont over complicate things and maybe cut back on your practice slightly as no-one likes to leave their best snooker on the practice table. If you are making 100+'s in practice then your problem seems to be a mental one opposed to a problem with your actual game.

That comment made me LOL

during a mid-session interval in the UK, the BBC did a piece about what the players wanted for Xmas ... some said, peace and happiness for my family ... another (I can't remember who) said an Aston Martin DB9 ... and Hendry said "to stop the chaos in my head" ...

nearly as good a comment as Eric Cantona's "seagulls don't flock over a fishing boat going out to sea" ...

my advice ... playing only once a week with a high-break of only 25 ... enjoy *playing* the game and try to hit the little ****ers in the holes ...

very difficult in my opinion but well worth trying ... but enjoy the game anyway

Yes that was a classic quote I noticed as well. Mainly due to the fact I have the final session of the UK final on my sky+. There is another interesting piece in the mid session interval about Prestatyn. lol

But anyway, that was a great quote everyone can relate to.
