Do you eat before playing poker?

[ak907907ak]

When I go to a certain casino, "Talking Stick Resort" I usually go to the all you can eat buffet before I start gambling.

I usually have a light snack before the game. Coffee or tea, sandwich or cookies, but no more.

better safe than sorry

It's always good to be prepared, because often, the game goes beyond the agreed time.

Hey I think it’s better to do everything before playing poker so that nothing distracts you[emoji3]

Eating something nourishing and well-balanced about 30 minutes before playing is a good idea IMO. Playing in a hypoglycemic state makes one sleepy and unconcentrated on the game!

At night I feel sleepy, so I often eat at the end of each hour just to stay alert.

 

[emejota23]

usually, as it is in the breaks, something relaxed, something like a sweet or a piece of fruit.

Thinking on an empty stomach is not always a good idea. If I'm hungry, all I think about is food.

 

[MrPokerVerse]

Guess I never thought about food and poker. My concern are more to being well rested and a positive mood. If eating falls into one of those two concerns then great!

 

[Alex Sentsov]

Naturally, but when is it then? After? A very strange question. )))

 

[tihomir_kula]

Yes, always, I'm nervous when I'm hungry.

I've been known to eat before, during and after games. Never gave it much thought. Just careful not to eat too much or else I become lethargic then I have to walk it off. Moderation is the answer. No fat, juicy burgers at the table, or computer.

 

[COMIRRR]

If I'm hungry during the game I don't know what to do, I'm going crazy

 

[redmast]

I always play online. Therefore, I usually eat at a certain time for meals. I can also eat while playing poker.

 

[eniseysmail]

Judging by the comments, food intake affects the concentration of attention and the quality of the poker game )))

Less fat. In the optimal daily diet of calories that you received from fat, there should be no more than 80 grams. Well, excess fat not only tends to be deposited under your skin, but also negatively affect the functioning of your brain. Poker requires food that increases concentration and stamina. I eat vegetables and fruits.

When i know that i will play long tournament i will prepare with tea and snacks/fruits.

 

[danydidi]

I like to eat wile playing .even in casinos I always have a stake wile playing .I think this is bad but 8 like it a lot

 

[vnnby]

My body itself demands when it needs to eat: before or on time, and after the game it doesn’t matter at all.

 

[seirmelo]

This is an important factor, I've mentioned it here in the past, about the break time that online tournaments offer of just 5 minutes, you can't even have a coffee. So, my advice is to start a tournament after you've had a good meal and have rested your mind to face at least 6 hours of tournament play.

 

[Pindiez]

I can’t play when I am hungry. I try eat something one hour before the tournament 🙂

 

[pocketace222]

I don't know about you but, I can't eat before or while I'm playing it makes me uncomfortable.
from what I've read it's a bad idea not to. Thoughts?

I'll eat before or during, there no set plan for me to eat or not. Doesn't effect my play never even thought of having a plan or a set way to play full or not it doesn't matter who cares

 

[blata8ruga]

I do have a small meal before I play.

 

[Grafa]

I usually always make sure I'm hydrated and have a bottle of water near me something even though I'm over drinking and missing some deals due to WC breaks - but food is important too. Like some fresh salads and maybe a bit of chicken meal I rely on before playing as if you're too full that could impact your decision making.

 

[pjokay]

Often no, but it's more the result of bad planning.
