What Do You Do During the Game to Relax?

[allinraw]

Chew gum and drink beer is my relaxation

 

[imdabest101]

I am always watching something while playing. It could be professional poker players playing, a football or basketball game, or a casual movie/YouTube. If nothing is on, then i'll just listen to some music. I also always have a cold water while playing.

 

[oldolm]

for me is good to smoke or listen music or playing slots maybe try one of this

 

[Fastone2]

I am usually doing well all game. If I do have a boring game, I usually sit out and do something for a few minutes. I love to play and enjoy my time with ya all....

Sometimes I listen to music, but it's not something that can help to relax when I lose. You just need to understand that the loss sometimes happens and take it

Lately i have been listening to some ESPN podcast while playing.

You shouldnt be relaxed while playing. You should have laser like focus, tense, sweating bullets for every decision. Thats the mark of a champion.

Hey. when I play poker I usually listen to music. Also to relax you can listen to comedy stories, it raises the mood. I rarely smoke cigarettes and can drink a little alcohol

Laser focus yes, tense not, if you are relaxed is less likely you will tilt easily which will make you more money in the long run.

Listening to music, depends on my mood what genre , some coffee or tea and play my favorite tournaments. Deep runs are always welcome!!!

[perrinperrua99]

For me: Music + Water.

 

[Milosika1991]

During the tournament I usually listen to music, I open another tournament with a strong buy in and I watch ... Cigarettes relax me most, but since it's forbidden smoking in the house I have to deal with ...

 

[Trick1988]

coffee, cigarettes and good music help me during the game. sometimes include a news channel, also not bad.

 

[caterina12]

on youtube video funny

 

[keokeokk]

I start playing some internet games of the puzzle, so I get more attuned at any time

 

[aurafm]

I usually listen to music to keep me in a good mood but I want to have a ritual for playing poker, like drinking or smoking something to help me relax

 

[playinggameswithu]

I watch the action trying to figure out what my opponents tendencies are. If I can count on them for c-bet to check raise, if they bluff and how often, how loose they are, if I have previous notes.

You are suppose to watch the action because it really helps make a decision when you are in the later part of tournament.

 

[wstnkk]

I listen Pink floyd

 

[Garfield52]

Nothing better than a bag of chips or other munchies and a beer while I am involved in a tournament or any of the online poker games.

 

[Oliver Wayne]

I do not relax during the game. I'm always in suspense.
Maybe it helps me)

 

[Dim4ik555]

I drink tea or coffee while playing poker, it helps me to relax.

 

[r21sp]

when I play a few tournaments at the same time, the maximum that can be included background music, and if I play 1-2 tournaments I can afford to play the game "Heartstone" it helps to distract from unsuccessful hands

 

[fernandoprrt]

To relax, I only need to win a big hand, can be on 3 streets, all in pre, on the Flop or turn. If I keep doing the right decisions during the session I will be more relax and be able to continuing doing the best decisions.
