A few cans of cold beer is the best preparation for me, which always has a positive effect on my mood and my results.

I very rarely disassemble my game, as I get very tired. Sometimes I can sort out my hands right during the game if few tables are open.

First of all, I eat well, I eat first before I start playing, I drink a lot of water, I have to have my mind 100% concentrated and I like to get out of business first, so I don't have to do chores or help an errand or something.

Hello. Yes, I do prepare. I have some software tools that help my game. Mostly some reference tables. That's all.

Not a lot, just make sure I have enough time to finish playing the games I start and maybe make a cup of tea.

I do physical exercises to tone and energize. I drop all thoughts and do what I have to.

I don't prepare for a poker section. But I tend to be very anxious thinking about how I can win a tournament. It gives me a feeling of ecstasy.

Do you prepare for a session of poker and if so how do you do it. I usually try not to think about it when i play live games or i tend to psych myself out a bunch lol. Online though i just get as comfortable as i can in front of my screen and i like to project my games to my tv. sometimes i like to think of all the mistakse i made the day before or last sesssion. other than that not much preparation for me. Id like to know what yall do though. maybe itll help.
I do a few things!

I check my attitude to see if my brain is in a good place.
If that is good - I ask myself how I feel, if my health is OK or if I'm tired.
If I'm not tired I use an App to guide me through a meditation
Then I play 100 hands on "free money" poker app to get into the thinking of a poker game.
Then I play! :D

Before the game itself, it is imperative to concentrate, mobilize your thoughts for the upcoming game, remain vigilant and carefully monitor everything that happens. The main task is to think only about poker, trying to get out of my head all thoughts not related to the tournament. It is important to be able to adapt to the current situation, to have your own strategy. If your thoughts are occupied with other worries, then you simply cannot fully control all information about the game, which means that you cannot fully assess the situation at the gaming table.

Personally, I begin my inner preparation with a little meditation. Then I direct all my thoughts exclusively towards poker, which allows my brain to tune in to the game. Sometimes you can watch an interview with a reputable player about a game or read a couple of articles in a poker magazine.

I opened the site and prepared for the game. Stopped in to check the answers in the chat and missed registration.
Cool but insulting.

Yep.Usually, I launch GTO Sensei before the session for 20-30 min. Sometimes I review my base of tournaments/

Just making sure to be well rested and concentrated. If it is about cash game if i am bot relaxed I just wont play. If it is for tournament, I would try to get rest as much as I can before that.

Various preparations are needed.

But the posture losing those is also necessary.
