I don't have a routine before playing online poker, but I like to play keeping well fed and rested without having to worry about anything other than the game. If I have worries or distractions, I prefer not to play, as any lack of attention can lead to defeat.

I do everyday things. And just before the poker I turn on videos on YouTube to play more fun:)

I think that when you create a lot of expectations, frustrations increase a lot.
I prefer to enter without commitment and without pressure.

for a long time on the Micros I had no value to keep me in the game. on the pokerstars platform the best tournaments are the big ones that are equal to a live tournament; Sunday Million /Sunday storm / Wcoop /SCOOP while I'm playing I feel good

Just clean my mind! When I have something pending, I can't focus on the game, then I lose again and again!

For me, the most important thing is to play with a fresh mind.

Before playing poker, I rest for about 30 minutes before the game, after eating and pouring myself a drink or tea and sitting down to play poker

Do you have some ritual?
No, I don't have any ritual before I start playing. I wake up, go to the bathroom to wash my face, then have breakfast, make myself a coffee and just start playing poker

I wake up doing all the important things and sit down to play, which is a lot of free time

My personal tournament preparation begins with a deep cleansing facial treatment followed by a rigurous 10 Min walk along the beach with my dog buster.

Then I like to settle down with a glass of cow free milk, topped with some apple seeds and I'm ready to go 🙂

I wake up, have my breakfast, go for a walk, stretch, do some push-ups and sit-ups, and start the games...! sometimes I dive on the beach, it invigorates the soul.

I never thought on that. I guess I just get something to drink and sit on my computer to play.

before playing poker I will do everything, eat and calmly play poker so that nothing distracts me!
