I make sure my kids are fed so they don't bother me, and I put my phone on airplane mode so I don't get interrupted.

That's a great answer. I take a piss bc not all sites r sync breaks. Get my beverage and snacks and strap in for the ride.

Nothing physically..........I just visualize scenarios and how I am going to react to them if they occur during the upcoming tourney.. #I want a pre-tourney routine though, think it'd help alot

I have no rituals before playing poker. After starting, when there are only 2 tours running I usually surfing on net or watching TV. After the others start, I start concentrating on poker...but the TV is still on (usually watching Columbo, soccer, documentary films). :p

My thing i do is always go to the restroom and smoke a cigarette before sitting at the table. Then i will go make sure i have a nice fresh soda before the game starts and the last thing is to get a podcast from Joe Rogan ready to go in the background so i may listen to it while playing.

Washroom. Smoke. Ask the bf if he needs food or coffee (fortunately it's just coffee and a 5 min walk because he too will be prepping for his own tourney). Occasionally I'd end up with a random house chore like the laundry or dishes because I don't feel comfortable being in a long tourney and then suddenly remembering I have chores that needs to be done >.<

i drink water and juice, and prepare some while playing also prepare some snack for the 5 min break, then open the pc or laptop, prepare the music i like to hear when playing (usually 90´s alternative rock), then surf the web for a while, check the news, open cardschat and read for a while what´s new in the poker world, open full tilt and pokerstars and see what´s tourney i´m going to play and also look for upcoming events and promos, i like to see the lobby of the tournament to prepare some kind of mental strategy regarding the field, the players, and the prizes, also the time structure, and finally i like to see who players are registered and who of them i have labeled

actually, usually I go for a walk, and I'm thinking about trying to play well regardless of subsequent outcome, and I ask myself as I play what's next.

Usually I turn on some music. I breath and relax.
