I don't believe in rituals to improve the game, but in the player's mental and even physical capacity.

Put on the preverbal pot of coffee and check my connections.
If I'm going to a card-club then it's the whole vehicle assessment. That and apologizing to my money clip for the sudden weight loss and that I'll try to get it something to fill it up shortly.

the only daily ritual before starting to play poker is a bit of meditation accompanied by some videos of some high level professionals and trying to understand the level of thinking

Happy Monday, everyone! How do you start your morning?

Professional poker players swear by their pre-game rituals to ensure a successful session. From meditation to exercise. I'm not a professional poker player, but somehow I meditate, eat a full breakfast meal while checking my emails, and then start playing poker for the whole day.

Do you your own pre-poker rituals?
Hi :)
Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to play poker all day, but as for meditation, this has been my ritual for many years.

I'm not superstitious, so I don't have any rituals. I believe in fate. What is destined to be will be.

specific rituals, I don't have.
but there are days when I have the feeling that everything is going to be complicated, and it usually is.
and there are days when I feel it will work, sometimes it's true.

Hello!

Poker is an exciting and strategic card game. In addition to technical skills, poker players often have their own rituals or habits that they perform while playing. These rituals can help relieve stress, increase concentration, or simply bring good luck.

When I'm gaming, I often feel stressed or anxious, I usually take a deep breath. This can help calm nerves and stay focused during the game.

In summary, the rituals performed by poker players can help relieve stress, increase concentration and bring good luck during the game. However, it is important to remember that these rituals are no guarantee of success and that technical skill and strategy are still the main determinants of the outcome of the game.

everything is quite simple for me: good food, good music, good mood, free time.

I never believed in any meditations and preparations. And yes, there was never enough time for that. I come to the computer and play right away.

my special ritual is to get a good night's sleep. If I don't get enough sleep, I make bad decisions. Also sometimes I can drink a glass of light beer. When I do that, I always win:);)

Hi.
I only play poker in the evenings after work, so my only ritual is finding time to play :)
Good luck.

Each player attracts fortune and defends himself from bad luck in his own way. The main thing is that the ritual does not turn into an irrational superstition, because of which the player violates the basic strategies of the game. My ritual is to get enough sleep before the game.

Personally, when I play poker, I like to watch poker streams or some TV series. I can't imagine playing without it.

Yes, I have terrible rituals. Coffee, cigarette. Cough. Coffee. Cigarette. This is how my morning usually starts.

I have 2 rituals hahahaha....

1- When I'm about to start a tournament or something that has a slightly higher cost on my bankroll, I look for a video of a tournament or something like that and I watch it to get into that game mood.
2- When the game starts I stop watching and I play my favorite songs, they help me to be calmer and not tilt with the bad ones.

The player I consider the best ever, Stu Ungar, had no ritual at all. :).
I just seat, roll the jazz and play my game...coffee in the breaks (if I survive :).
