How do you work on strengthening your psychology in the game?

[OnasOO]

Strengthening your psychology in the game is an important part of poker success. Here are a few techniques that help me stay calm and focused during play:

1. Meditation: Regular meditation helps improve my concentration and emotional control. Dedicated breathing exercises can help calm nerves.
2. Bankroll Management: One of the primary sources of psychological pressure is the stress related to financial losses. Establish clear bankroll management rules to reduce financial stress.
3. Setting Goals: I set clear goals for each gaming session. This helps me stay focused and avoid impulsive decisions.
4. Breaks and Rest: Don't hesitate to take short breaks between sessions. This helps relieve accumulated tension and restore concentration.
5. Positive Self-Talk: When I notice negative thoughts or emotions, I try to switch to positive self-talk. I remind myself of my skills and confidence.
6. Learning and Self-Improvement: The more I study the game and poker psychology, the more confident and calm I feel. Continuous learning helps me trust my decisions.
7. Community Support: Communicating with other players in the poker community allows me to share experiences and discuss challenges. It creates a sense of mutual support.
8. Continuous Skill Improvement: The better I understand and master gaming techniques, the more confidence I have in my actions.

Psychological stability and confidence play a significant role in poker. These techniques help me strengthen my mental foundation and remain calm in challenging situations.

Self-hypnosis helps me. In difficult moments I tell myself: distance will return everything...

I usually either listen to music or enter a call to talk to friends about random things while I play, this helps me not to despair and play wrong many times.

Drink wine, a lot. And never drink on an empty stomach, so eat some beer first! It doesn't work for me but maybe for you? Enjoy.

Self-hypnosis is my coping mechanism. During challenging times, I remind myself: distance will eventually heal everything. This approach has been quite beneficial for me.

When I play poker, I listen to calm music, sometimes I can even turn on Mozart or Bach, and it helps a lot. Also, after an emotionally difficult session, I go to play basketball or do sports, then my emotional excitement and anxiety just disappear.

rest always helps after a hard day of poker I go to bed and then when I wake up I forget everything that happened and continue playing my favorite poker. Sometimes meditation helps a lot, or I go to work out after I come back, too, anger at poker goes to sports so there are many ways
