Mindset is everything.

I believe your mindset determines how you play. I mean in a bad mood anyone can prove they can lose, right? Any player who takes the game seriously know that winning at poker doesnt mean everyhand you put chips in with. Big part of course is strategy and know your odds, but having the mind strength to stick to your guns. Tilt is a real thing and even the greats as you see on tv are just human too. Mood falls into that a great deal. having the ability to keep the bad beat feeling at bay. I agree that mindset and mood play a big role in how one plays poker.

usually I take a shower, then a coffee and smoke a cigarette and I go to rest, so the next day it's better for the game!

I also believe, if something affects our main instrument (our mind), so we have to identify what it is, and to put things in place in the best way possible. I hope to play better from here ahead

Most of the time it helps if you just rest a little and take your distance from poker until you have recharged your batteries. But if the brain is tired then you should first ask yourself why you have this feeling. Does it really only have to do with poker and do you have the feeling that you can't do anything anymore or are there other reasons? I don't want to know the reasons, but sometimes such things are an indication of a coming depression and then maybe just taking a break isn't enough to get rid of this feeling again. Everything has a cause and first you have to know the cause in order to find a solution. But if there is nothing else then just take a break and do the things that you enjoy reading a nice book or whatever you like to do and relax

When the mind is tired u should stop playing poker and rest cause u will not play your best game. Its like when u work u need to do a break so u will rest a little bit.
I personally do meditation when I'm very tired at night and I can't sleep.

I usually play video games. It's a good way to relax too.

Hello to all
If I feel tired while playing in a tournament, then I drink strong tea, if in general, then there is nothing easier, I read a book or watch TV.

Pertaining to poker, in the middle of a tournament , especially being card dead, I decide to start bombing pots till I get knocked out. Once and a while I get hot and chip up big time. This wakes me up and I renew focus and and play on. Awesome to cash.
In live games, like at a casino, I switch from beer to coffee and this wakes me up to play on.
