Physical and Mental state when playing poker

Yes, the physical and mental state affects the game. You cannot play in an agitated or sick condition. You must be in a neutral state and, of course, prepare for a long game if you want to be at the final table.

Of course.

When I do a hard ride in my bike, I get tired and play so bad, when I get that tired I don't play because I know I will lose.

I play freerolls in any condition. Unless of course a terrible headache. At responsible tournaments is another matter. I not only select the time of the game, but take into account my attitude to the game.

Yes, of course, my physical and emotional state has a very strong influence on my game. For example, if I have a bad mood, I am not starting to play because it usually leads to losses. I am convinced that the game has to bring me pleasure, so I always start playing just in a good mood.

It is strongly influenced by a mental state when you lose it is heavy to make the right decisions.

Hi, I think that the mental state weighs more than the physical one because it affects the time to make the best decisions

fatigue, poor poker status is one of the main negative factors.
if I am not in the spirit, I often lose and there are no results and success.
but even in this state it still pulls to play

hello, this is the physical and mental state is most important to achieve good results, so it is better to play as calm as possible, if you are stressed should not be playing, drinking water and no alcohol, cigarette also some fruit to calm anxiety and drink water throughout the game, I hope you serve this advice friend.

poker is a mental game if you are stressed or fatigued with your head is a knot is obvious that there is no surrender at the table it is best to get away a little and vvver cando estes at a better time:dancing2:

In my opinion, the basis for a successful game is a balanced psycho-emotional state of the player. Emotions always hinder making the right decisions. Therefore, I try to avoid negative emotions and always try to be focused on the game.

Так, це дуже впливає на гру у покер, тут треба бути спокійним і витривалим

I agree with you being tired results in poor play for me

No doubts about it! To make decisions is not easy! Everything that influences on it, can lead you to a loss.

I like to play a 12-20 hour long grind, take a nap, and do it again, but after a few days I find that getting some good exercise and a real long sleep mixed in, are required to keep my game sharp.

Hi, poker is fun to play but it's tough to be a really good player and win consistently for a long period of time. In order to be a successful player you'll have to put a lot of effort in studying the game(that's not just a one time deal and you'll have to always look to improve and not just by playing...).
Also, knowing poker mathematics, having good bankroll management and being good at managing your emotion isn't enough anymore and you'll have to be careful with your schedule too, it's important to keep in mind that with a healthy body and mind your results will be better too!

GL all at the tables
