before the big game with big buy-in and big prizes , I get a good night's sleep, Set goals, eat well and relax as much as possible, The more you build it up as some grandiose thing, the more pressure you are gonna feel which might affect your play, I treat it like nothing special just another session.

I try to play several freeroll tournaments and that way I can see how my game is, many times I feel like I have to do it like this to eliminate bad luck a little, maybe that's just a mental thing but it's my routine

In my case, the preparation is very primitive :)
I play poker in the evenings after work, so I have to do the following before I play.
1. Take a shower.
2. Eat.
3. Wash the dishes.
4. Make a big cup of tea.
.... that's all, you can start playing :)

The main thing for me is not to overexert yourself before the game - sometimes I sit down to play tournaments already tired - and this is a problem of concentration

Hello everyone. Superstition is for those who are unsure of themselves. This applies to both major tournaments and minor ones. It is necessary to rest, warm up before the game, do a small analysis of your play, and if there are flaws, be attentive. Amulets, talismans, and the like are for those who trust luck more than they trust their skills.

Before a serious tournament, I just like to take a walk and breathe in the fresh air. Although I rarely have enough time for this, unfortunately.
