How do you prepare yourself just before an online poker match?

[theStarfish]

I just try to be rested and fresh and get in the right mood. Having a positive mindset could be helpful. Maybe also a cup of tea or so and then I feel for some poker

I don't prepare myself for online tournaments except to look to the structure of the tournament in the tournament lobby. I was playing in all kind of moods and I noticed that it's preferable to be rested and in the good mood,. When I was not in the good mood, or rested I was mostly losing money. So, it's good to create a cozy atmosphere, good mood before tournament, to relax.

Very good!

Leaving everything arranged and in order, to keep the mind focused at the beginning of the tournament, is a positive part that motivates me and improves my ranking in the tournaments!

get plenty of sleep. this is crucial. also coffee and food. egg on toast. avocado. etc. besides that I just tell myself to be patient, play well and forget about the rest of the stuff I can't control.. all I can do

most of all have fun .. otherwise what's the point

life is too short to play just for the money

Honestly!)

very interesting comments!) basically, no one is preparing for online tournaments .. So I am not preparing either, and this is probably why my bank roll is minimal today.! And how are you about this, friends? How often do you replenish your accounts ??? this is a question for those who are not preparing) .. and probably those who are preparing, they do not replenish, but withdraw?))

I've already prepared and lost, have not prepared and won and the other way around. A previous 'ritual' don't guarantee any result, it's just a matter of taste.

I don't have a preparation ritual but I try to be calm

 

[hcuervo]

I concentrate, I prepare my mate or terere in argentina, something to eat and I wait patiently:icon_sant

 

[Rob Hobson]

Actually, I try to free myself from any business or finish everything started, and during breaks I brew coffee and smoke a vape. But sometimes, when I'm unlucky, I think about putting my happy comb in my pocket.

Ok, a vape? Cool

 

[maorodman]

I drink a beer can of Heineken and try to calm down and relax!!

 

[Rob Hobson]

I drink a beer can of Heineken and play agressive when its necessary!!

Oh yeah! With the right hands and position, aggressiveness is the way...

Preparation

If i can, i will have a power nap (Im getting old so i need it lol) - then a coffee and then will check some of my poker links on site and read up on some current stories and situations, i will sometimes look at some of my plays from the previous day or check out others.
I will make sure i have made myself some snacks and drinks up if i am in for the long session or playing multi tournaments.

 

[manIk5]

I also take a shower half hour-hour before tourney starts , eat something and am ready to go .
Sometimes I might even drink coffee before and during , depending on what time of the day it is , not always but sometimes .

I always played turbo/hyper tourneys, and it's hard to be patient playing 10+ minutes blind levels

 

[MMaki1981]

I go to the bathroom, grab a drink and a snack. Get a comfy spot set-up. Find something to watch or listen to. Make sure I smokes handy and either my vape pen or some joints. Then I am good to go at least until the first 5 minute break.

However, every break I have to make a made dash to the bathroom and to make another coffee

You can read the tutorials here. Know how to act preflop. If you play a proper preflop strategy you will avoid headache hands. The post-flop decisions become easier when you play with only selected hands and you play with position. Your postflop decision also depends on several factors. For example, whether you raised pre-flop or just called and how many opponents you are still playing post-flop against. Of course, the theory will help you, but you also need practical experience to be able to make decisions quickly.

I usually prepare a protein shake or, failing that, a fruit salad if I have it prepared, or I directly drink water during the game. Greetings, good :wavey:luck at the table, I'm Pharaoh Ramses 2:icon_fara
