I prepare the bonus points, watch the poker stream, and view information about the beginning of the tournament and its features.:D

Before tournament

Every player has it differently than I read here. I used to watch videos from tournaments when I smoke a joint and go to the tournament :jd4::jd4:

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.

I wake up and immediately play poker)
Just kidding, I'll have some tea, watch the video and go play poker.
And during the game I drink coffee.

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.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

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.

I try to warm up before a serious game in inexpensive tournaments, because it helps to refresh my head

Poker

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.

Just calm down. Drinking a tea normally and then going into a tournament. Mindset is key :)

Doing housework and eating healthy. Nothing like playing poker knowing that you have contributed to your family by ordering things at home

It is advisable to do all your daily activities so that there are no distractions.
And of course, have a hearty meal, stock up on cigarettes)

Hi all!

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 :D. Mate is a drink, infusion, common in Latin America.
Cheers
