i like rolling a few nice joints and make a cup of coffee
get my shoes on and take the dog out so she will be good for a few hours or at least until break time , being i have to go for a walk and not just open the door to let her out lol
then i go to the fridge and grab some munchies
and from there im good to go......poker on baby!!!
Before I sit down to play, I try to finish my chores, go shopping, prepare food, clean up, take care of the children. Sometimes, of course, these classes have to be combined, but it is very difficult.
Played a weekend series that started mid-morning, made sure I set an alarm 10 minutes before start time. Really no ritual involved to play. Won't play right after work or in a negative mood. Unless it is a required tournament in a series.
I like to play at mid afternoon or early evening so because I sleep in most days (retired) I like to have a little breakfast, take my medication and relax for an hour or so before I start the onslaught. I also like to visit Cardschat forum and leave a few remarks, this seems to get my brain in gear before I start.
Hello, the truth is that a very good question, sometimes I rest for a moment, sometimes I watch television and other times a movie or series. If anyone knows what a professional does before playing it would be good to share it.
usually i either watch tv or relax but there are times when i am on the road and then i play or at work so far I have brought success i don't know why: D
I try to sleep well before the big tournament. I advise everyone to do this, otherwise there will not be enough strength and concentration for the whole tournament. The most important thing is a fresh head while playing.
In the morning first thing in the day 7 or 8 AM approx I prepare some mates, in my case I put squeezed orange in the thermos, traditionally it only has hot water but I like it with orange . Mate is a drink, infusion, common in Latin America.
Cheers
