stretching, a bottle of water, meditation...

Hello friend, I am looking for my lucky charm, having a fruit or a smoothie near you, a positive mind and most importantly a bottle of water, as you already mentioned.

1. I start by studying 📑 spots and range’s.
2. Pick a strategy eg. tight Aggressive or loose Passive.
3. Make sure to eat and stay hydrated

4. Just relax half and hour before the tournament start’s and Visualize winning 🥇.

Good luck 🍀👍 and have fun 🤩.

Usually, the tournaments I play start in the evening, so before the tournaments I have dinner and a cup of coffee. During tournaments, I can drink tea and eat pre-prepared sandwiches or fruit.

I sleep well the night before, I eat well, I do some sport in the morning, I take a shower and I always have water in a glass.

Hi, I usually finish tasks to play freely the tournament.

 

[drinker]

I have no preparation for the game as such. I have only two options, I either have free time and play or I don't have free time and then I work

 

[RENEY444]

Lol, same as 'drinker' above ! If i get lucky i do well , not much more to it .

What I do is very basic, have bottles of water within reach, have the food more or less organized so that during a break I can do everything quickly and just heat it up in the microwave, apart from that I don't do anything, I usually study or watch my session once finished all the tournaments, to also have my music playlist ready

I do not really have a strategy yet... kinda when I have some free time hop on and look for a a freeroll but I like what ratbat615 said below:

Having a nap and a good meal always help.

The main thing is a good mood, a separate room so that no one distracts and probably this is all the preparation.😁

 

[markdias]

I drink water, go to the bathroom and I'm done.

 

[MF.Brn]

I drink water and go to the bathroom, then I listen I will listen to music waiting for the tournament to start

 

[steve01991]

about an hour before, i need quiet, eat something, and listen to soft music.

 

[Comboss599]

I don't do any preparation. I like to smoke a cigarette before the game but it's not my ritual.

 

[pokerD]

I don't have that special preparation, I just tend to make tea often before playing.

 

[dreamer13]

I slept, ate, walked in the fresh air and went into battle, and most importantly, that no one interfered.

Caffeine

 

[micalupagoo]

Doobies n beer, after a few I'm an all star

 

[RustyRed83]

I dont really do anything. Apart from logging in and playing.

 

[Ketoupitou]

I don't prepare. I'm just here for fun and any kind of preparation would make it less fun. Playmoney player here.

 

[hardongear]

Mainly online player. See Ratbags list above. Good list. I'd only add the following:

1) Be well rested and personally I like to shower just before every MTT or day playing begins.
2) Along with studying certain spots(I pick spots I think I need work at or I think I'm weak on). I also go over and make sure I have it clear in my head when I need/want to be shifting gears. Besides the obvious spots when I'm short stacked.
3) Bathroom break before MTT starts.


Cheers!!!

 

[Falai_san]

For me, I finish all my things in order to play in my comfort .
And I turn on some relaxing music to prepare mentally .

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I go for a walk an hour before the start of the tournament, sometimes I take a shower and rest before the game.
