Afraid to take the risk of winning. <br \/>\n\tIf you have temerity: You are reckless, take unreasonable risks, hard-headed. You embrace the risk of losing. Unfounded confidence not based in reality. <br \/>\n\tIf you are confident:  You have a plan. You have learned how to throw. You know the math of the game. You understand the risk of both winning and losing. <\/p>\n<p>\tBeing confident is what you want to be at the table. But it is a learned confidence that can only come from practice and muscle memory. <\/p>\n<p>\tA real confident shooter who has learned the system and practiced walks up to the table and knows he\/she is:<br \/>\n\tThe captain of the ship.  <br \/>\n\tThe driver of the bus.<br \/>\n\tThe pilot of the plane. <\/p>\n<p>\tEver hear the saying, the head of the table is wherever I sit?  Well, a GTC thrower is at the head of the table even though he\/she throws from SL1,2 or SR1,2.  <\/p>\n<p>\tThat is the confidence you need when you throw. You can only get that from understanding the math, mastering the throw, and learning the bets to make.  <\/p>\n<p>\tGood shooting!<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h3>Replies:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Raging Baritone on May 9, 2013, 9:44 pm<\/p>\n<div>Well said my good friend jack<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"migrated-reply\" style=\"border: 1px solid #eee;padding: 15px;margin-bottom: 15px;border-radius: 5px\">\n<p><strong>Posted by:<\/strong> Dr Crapology on May 10, 2013, 12:22 am<\/p>\n<div>Lover it.
