Most professional players prepare before the game, some do physical exercises, others have specific nutrition, meditate ... and you? What is your ritual?

I'm not a professional and I don't have any rituals. Just try to sit in on a game when I have no problems home to nothing didn't distract me.

Best thing is take a nap before long play, just for me personally.

I do not know about the rituals :))) but for me personally the best preparation is a good night's sleep (at least 8 hours), it's good to eat, and an hour before the game, raise yourself to a maximum of mood, for example, a comedy movie. Firstly, you will not be tired, secondly, be distracted by hunger; thirdly, keep the psychic resistance to bad beats as long as possible, at the expense of good

Unfortunately this part of game is my weak side. Sometimes I choose wrong time for playing and I can`t focus on the game for a long time.

Hello brazilian friend !!!

I like to control the sessions, not to do any tiring marathons.

To play and to my studies I usually do a relaxation (self hypnosis).

Physical activities also help, some times of the year I can not maintain my routine of activities and I feel the difference

Yes, of course, you need to keep fit and exercise, especially online players who play in MTT tournaments, you also need to retire from other things to be as focused as possible, well, then you have to sit down for a comfortable chair and hope to win)

As I play poker as an entertainment I usually do not prepare. When playing MTTs try to get on early to avoid loosing blinds for sitting out. The only thing I usually do is look for a place where I get distracted the less.

I do not have any preparations, I sleep and eat, regardless of poker, it's necessary for a normal life, and I do not need sports exercises, every day, I go cycling, to work!
The only thing is, I prepare different music so that during the game I will not be distracted! Good game to everyone!

Current preparation for the game I do not have, but a good rest and good mood gives the best result

I am not a professional. Do not have any rituals and just go into the game with whatever my mindset is at the time.

I would love to say I run a mile, eat a healthy meal or say a prayer but the truth is if it's an online tournament I really have no routine and if I'm at a casino I usually throw a $20 in the video poker machine at the bar so I can get a free drink - or play a few hands of blackjack

I did not prepare before the game. The max before the game of poker I can play computer game Counter Strike or listen to music, and thereby improve your mood. The main point to make during a poker game nothing distracted!
