I wake up, I go in the kitchen, I get coffee and water, I listen to music and I make prayers and meditation

It may sound weird but before a tournament I love playing Tetris. In the version: Tetris Tengen.nes. Maybe someone understands me.
I feel like my head is preparing for the adrenaline of the tournament.
I have also read that tetris is a game that benefits the mind.
So I have another excuse to not leave one of my favorite childhood games.
Greetings

What do you do when your waiting to play a tournament?? Do you coach yourself, maybe play some warm ups...


Nothing like that, I just do my own thing, I do not live poker, I never wait for the start of the tournament, in life there are many things much more interesting than a poker tournament, so I just sit down and play, and if you do not have time to get into the tournament, it's okay, there will be many more tournaments

I usually listen to EDM music, get myself pumped to shit, maybe meditate for 5-10 mins if I’m too antsy.

Lately I read a book while waiting or watch looney tunes. Both keep me calm.

Before the tournament, I give myself the opportunity to rest and relax. But sometimes I decide to have a rest and then find some freeroll, which can be played before the tournament, and then the rest is my decision only solution, and in fact I'm playing.

Study hands I’ve played and make sure I’m not making those mistakes. Also just waiting. Not playing cash. Just hand analysis

I get anxious all the time, until it starts. So I put on a song, prepare something fast to eat, and then start playing.

I try to study a little too. Or make a stack before the tournament starts. See what mistakes I have in previous hands to make better decisions. Try to avoid too many coolers early. Ex set over set on the flop without doing my stack. :mad:

Well, today I made a sandwich and then took a nap, setting the alarm to go off 15 minutes before the tournament started. Don't like to feel tired while I'm playing. Depending on the site, I'll sometimes play a sit-n-go. Some sites just take too long to player-up to make that feasible.
