Preparation For the Game

[cwdignus]

Really? I always thought poker was a very marginal game for bad boys ...
Watered with lots of cachaça (whiskey) and lots of cigarette smoke ... I think I'm watching a lot of western movie.
joking apart
Today we have many options to improve our apprenticeship:
Food supplementation
Binaural beats
Training with computer programs
Self hypnosis
Mantras and the like
Analyze background and mindset ... etc

Yes, I really like these rituals but I can't afford them all the time, sometimes I just wake up and play. And this is my mistake, as I observed, because I got angry if I will not do it!

 

[Rinat Akhmadullin]

What kind of training, you come from work and sodishsya play!

 

[antonis32123]

I get a nap sometimes , always I prepare my snacks and drinks ;P

 

[ph_il]

I sacrifice a goat.

The main thing is to have a good night's sleep, have a snack beforehand, go to the toilet and charge the phone.

Poker is all about having a competitive edge over your opponents. Getting adequate sleep, limiting distractions, and preparing yourself mentally is how you bring the sharpest knife to the table.

Sport and nutrition are good in any case! To my great regret, I do not have a special ritual. I just try not to sit down to play, if I'm tired or have a bad mood !!!!

 

[sanych]

No rituals. The main thing is to be confident in your game. That's all.

 

[Drowy]

i cant focus at the early stage of a tourney but when past the bubble i suddenly wake up and feel like a shark

 

[Rony Mota]

Interesting the differences and how each one behaves. I believe the most important thing is not to lose concentration and be clear minded at the moment of the game.

 

[reggie_g]

a good nights sleep before playing

 

[mrwerdy]

I drink some coffee, stretch, and most importantly take my adderall.

 

[bstest]

No ritual here. Online is just one game after another. Never played in a major multi day tournament. I just try to remember to drink coffee before I begin

i am playing dota 2

Lol) And my weakness is WOT. But I don`t think, that it influences good on my poker game)

 

[cwatt3131]

Do most players choose specific tournaments a day or two ahead when playing online? I have been primarily playing cash games to reduce the variance and build my bankroll, but I love playing tournaments. What is the best way to select these tournaments online? Are weekends best?

 

[karkachi]

I always try to be relaxed, listen to music and try to be calm, so I try to enter the tournaments.

 

[wlad20082009]

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

Importantly all done in time !

 

[titiduru]

For the 10 dollar free roll, I do only Yoga and Qigong. Any higher free roll I add Tai Chi, acupuncture, Korean hand therapy, mindfulness, self hypnosis, and buddhist meditation. I don't play any real money tournaments, I have to think what I would add for those.

 

[cwatt3131]

I prefer drinking a chai tea over doing tai chi

 

[ezgift]

I usually go to the shower, eat tight, play video games and play poker)
