Make sure to drink lots of Red Bull in preparation. And if you get nervous, imagine your opponent in his underwear. Unless it's a chick. If she's hot, don't. If she looks like my mom, do. It will make you hurl and you will have to draw. When a rematch is scheduled, taint his Gatorade with sleeping tablets. He will doze off and you will win.
