How do you stay focused in tournaments?

[57noona]

I try to stay relaxed and let things that go against you go. Staying focus is a goal I try to obtain.

I play the first 20-30 minutes, then make a break for 20-30 minutes, unless I'm doubling your chips, otherwise all in

I never play more than one game at a time. I drink coffee. I try to avoid phone calls, which are my greatest downfall.

 

[iriska]

I like listening to light music during long tournaments.

 

[RounderRob]

I Smoke some nice loud to get nice and relaxed then sip on the crown the rest of the way

 

[babboonnexx]

I pretty much have to have 2 tournaments going at once in order to keep away from playing crappy hands purely out of boredom. it can get crazy trying to play two hands at once though

 

[pancho_1954]

I drink a lot of coffee, during breaks, even when I'm at stake, I usually avoid social networks or anything that disturbs me while I play

 

[NeoBandit]

me too

I agree, I hate it when my friend phones when I'm playing a really important game, you think no way am I answering it, but then you do! Fatal mistake, because 2 mins later your in a serious hand and cannot concentrate.

this happens to me too than i loose because i am not focused on the game i hate that

 

[AAbyss]

I try to keep myself in good physical shape

 

[Zhud]

I include my favorite music and try to concentrate for 40 minutes only on the tournament, and during the break 5 minutes necessarily rest. or physical stress, or whatever else

To be successful at poker, learn to pay attention to your surroundings. You are sitting at a table with several people, and each of them can deceive you at any time. Be careful. Don't let yourself get tired and relaxed. You can remain vigilant 99% of the time, but it only takes 1% negligence to lose everything.

This is a difficult task . What I have learned from experience is that you need to work on the psychology of your problems in poker as well as on the game itself . You also need to get a good night's sleep before a long tournament . It is in sleep that our brain neurons are restored .You also need to look for tilt problems and solve them logically so that they do not affect your game less and you notice the moment when your emotions start to take over you.

 

[Elfina777]

I focus on playing, when no one bothers me and I play, and while listening to my favorite music, it helps me.

 

[BodyCount]

I smoke cigarettes and drink cold cold beer.

 

[Syltan]

I drink coffee only 30-50 minutes before the start of the game, during the game I only drink soothing tea), in the final stages I head under the tap with water)

 

[daurensdo]

I try not to make any sudden actions, I need to think a little

 

[Tomek416]

I don't do anything else but play the tournament. That's one. And I usually don't play more than one tourney at a time.

 

[shim36]

I play while drinking a Coke. I feel like I can concentrate better if I worry about whether I'm tilt myself.

 

[nghoffman]

Playing the right kind of music in the background helps.

hi I mostly love to play and listen to music in the middle of the night! In the evening, the atmosphere is somehow calmer
