Every tournament i go to i dig myself a huge hole the first game.

Sweeper i was at our pair broke down in practice i got one shot, backends were screamin so i got inside and tried to belly the ball, had massive over under. I saw alot of guys goin straight up so i moved out and punched out for a 160 the first game.

I go off that line and go 246, 258, 251, 238 and end like plus 150 or 160 for 13th. I made money but if i go duece my first game i make it thru eliminator, i make it thru big board and maybe some of my first 5 brackets i were in (i won all 5 of my 3-4-5 brackets) and i would've made top 5 stepladder if i had only of gone duece.

I guess i shouldnt complain i averaged 245 the last 4 and played a tough line for me, goin straight up hard with end over end killing the ball. I made more money than i spent, but the way i started kinda puts a damper on it .

any suggestions to avoid this first game woes. its really costing me alot of top 5 places i do it all the time.
