I have always believed that sleeping the necessary hours is very important before any poker session, even more so if the session will last several hours

I drink a protein shake and blast "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor really loudly.

LOL, just kidding. I don't have a pre-game routine. :)

My routine before the game is the food because it is very difficult to play when you are hungry, only bad decisions! :)

Normally before i start i playing I like to go for a run, try to empty my mind with whatever bothers me.. I guess that this aligned with some regular meditation practice can empower you in a way that you can't imagine
It's such a good feeling when you get a bad beat and don't really care about it... When you feel like doing the right thing matters more than luck it's when the magic of poker starts happening

In fact, I have no prior preparation for the game. If I have free time I play, if I don't have time I don't play. Although I like to make myself a coffee and a sandwich before the game.

I don't have a pre-game routine.

However, I like to listen to music and try to relax while I'm playing.

Same as all the other days. I don't have any special routines. I just want to feel good playing. Relaxation and fun (I think at least that’s what the game should be).

My preparation for the game is to get some sleep before the tournament. Healthy sleep is the key to a good mood. A good mood is a guarantee of fun from the game.

I like to do some meditation, breathwork, movement, and eat a good meal

In terms of what I do right before the table to get in the zone. Here is my full routine!


Feel free to play it before one of your sessions and see it fo notice the difference!

Mt pre-game routine is very complex:
  • Sit down,
  • Register.

it varies from person to person, the main goal imo is to do something that relaxes you and clears your mind from anything that troubles you during non-poker hours. exercise, meditation, visualisation of the poker game in hand are part of my rituals.

Hello.
I only play poker in the evenings. Therefore, the main thing for me is to do all the planned things so that I can pay all my attention to the game. But I also meditate, which allows me to always be in a good mood and enjoy life.

Hi.
My whole routine is just to do all the planned work during the day and calmly find time to play in the evening.
Good luck.

Hello, I really try to do meditation before starting a session. Poker is a game that puts your mind at maximum tension many times and you must be as prepared as possible to face it.

Hello ! I particularly before a big tournament like to listen to music, talk on discord with a friend who is going to play the same tournament and plan how I am going to develop my game. Clearly this varies with its development but I like to think how it will be. And usually I place myself in a comfortable place and with a thermos of mate (National drink of argentina):five:
