Tips for Pro Playing #3

Rule n.9, "Prepare yourself to anything"
Don't overextend if it isn't needed, don't summon/set everything if you don't have something to block an opponent Dark Hole/Heavy Storm. Knowing opponent's deck helps in here too.
You have a beautiful hand, you could deal million of tons of damages with that hand, but you need to deal only 2000, don't summon everything, opponent could have something to stop you and you're fucked-up.  Your opponent could Mirror Force you or use battle fader and then Dark Hole. So, Be Prepared.

Rule n.10, "Concentrate"
Wondering why I forgot this...
Well, let's say it now, it works however, doesn't it? Basically, concentrate on your own duel, not anyone else's, your and your opponent's one.
Since this rule was short, I merged this with another rule, "Don't Stress". There are tons of people around you while you're playing? Well, how does that affect you? You just need to don't even consider them. You're on the final of a tournament. All of the peoples that are watching you are people that like yugioh and went there to see a game, or people that didn't reach the final but stayed looking. First ones aren't a problem, they are simply watching. Don't misplay because you're under pressure because of the second ones, they didn't even reach that point of the game, they don't have any right to criticize you.

Rule n.11, "Pride is nothing"
Don't misunderstand the title. Let's say you misplayed, but that misplay didn't cost you the game, don't do like you haven't had that card in hand and play it some turns after, just play it when needed. Okay, this rule may seem unuseful, but some friends of mine did this and lost the game because of that.

Rule n.12, "Expressions"
You need mirror force/battle fader to stop your opponent's incoming OTK, you draw into that, you jump for happiness, you scream "YEAAHHH", WRONG.
Don't do that, you draw, see that card, think for a bit of time as you're thinking what you need to do and then either pass if you draw fader or set a card (mirror force) and then pass. Your opponent will think that you drew into nothing and you're bluffing setting a card. Opponent's summon all for the otk, and you mirror force him, your opponent face will probably be like poker face, LOL.
Of course you need facial expression even when bluffing, but without exaggerating. Let's say you want to bluff, you draw, giggle a bit (only bit, you need to do that as your opponent may think that you don't want to demonstrate that but what happened is too good that it made you giggle. He will probably hold back, and you'll have one more turn to draw what you really need.

That's all for today, See Ya
