An audience watching your play is sort of cool, but I don't think it changes how I play. I could understand if some people get more nervous when the spotlight is on them, but it doesn't really impact me either way; probably because my competitive days with golf. Ask even a recreational golfer how they play when no one is watching versus when some random golfers are watching you tee off :D

For those unaware, almost always, people crack under the pseudo-pressure of people watching them play; even good golfers. It doesn't matter if the "audience" are random golfers, maintenance workers, or a "real" crowd at a tournament. I've always done just as well with players watching me, but I think my tournament experience and competitive background with golf is a big "training" tool which helped me overcome this.

I can imagine how playing poker is similar where some play worse when with an audience (pressure, or ego to impress perhaps?), but just like golf, probably the most experienced poker players aren't really fazed when there is a spectating crowd. :cool:
