Trust me, you're scared ****less before the cameras even arrive. But you get over it and when you start having some success, your confidence grows and the fear goes away.

You would get over that really quick, believe me, I was scared to death too and after an hour or so I was relaxed and just playing my game.

You just reminded me of a couple of years ago, I was at the Rio playing a WSOP ME qualifier, I swear I shivered for 4 hours straight, not sure if it was because it was cold in there or because of my nerves. This was the day after I took down a 40 person tournament at the Flamingo, so my confidence was high. I can still remember my hands trembling and my voice cracking as I said raise, lol
