It's essential to strike a balance between playing efficiently and taking the necessary time to think through your moves. Consider practicing with a timer to get a feel for how long you should spend on each decision.
Moreover, integrating time management techniques can help, such as focusing on priority actions that maximize your scoring potential. For additional insights on optimizing your gameplay, check out our strategy guide.

Developing a routine to calm your mind before and during tournaments can enhance your focus and clarity.
Strategies like deep breathing exercises or positive affirmations can help in managing tilt. For a deeper understanding of managing emotions while playing, refer to the understanding account issues page, which discusses the importance of emotional balance in gaming.
