Do you eat before playing poker?

karthos · Feb 11, 2022

I don't know about you but, I can't eat before or while I'm playing it makes me uncomfortable.
from what I've read it's a bad idea not to. Thoughts?

Apparently this issue is individual and depends on the physiological characteristics of the organism. On the contrary, I can't play when I'm hungry. If I am hungry I become impatient and it leads to bad results.

Playing at the casino live I see people eating and playing which is just gross since there are 8 people at the table and we are touching the same cards. It amazes me that they can't just sit out and take a break.

I can't play when im hungry so i always eat before i start playing and if i'm hungry during a session, i will just get a stack in the meantime untill i'm done but it's to each their own, one smokes during games, one drinks, etc so is it weird? No everyone just has their own things that helps them play poker.. but
question, you never eat during a game lets say one goes on for 8+ hours you dont consume anything?

karthos · Feb 11, 2022

NO food at all I drink to hydrate but I've played many tourneys I just don't feel hungry til its over!

Water or coffee, is all I need.

Good, for me if eating before or after playing is indistinct, I don't care!

eniseysmail · Feb 11, 2022

I always believe that eating food promotes relaxation. When you eat, you want to rest a little. And this contributes to a decrease in concentration.

danydidi · Feb 11, 2022

Usually I eat while playing .soecialy in live game in casino

I used to do that when I first started playing live tourns sitting for hours at a time without food or something to drink. It was a mistake that I didn't recognize.

Online I just wouldn't get this, but I can see this for someone that's new and playing a live tourn and just wants to stay in their chair. That's not the best way to go.

Especially if you have mood swings like the folks on the Snickers commercials that gets grumpy if you haven't eaten in awhile. Not eating after awhile will mess up your game so I would experiment with the type and quantity find what works.

I always tell folks to get up and stretch, get something to eat and drink a little, not too much though.

waynaldo009 · Feb 11, 2022

I eat a little bit because I don't want to play on an empty stomach. Nothing that makes me want to go to the bathroom soon though.

Juan Oro · Feb 12, 2022

And that decision would be personal, perhaps some players cannot play a few minutes before sitting down to play because it would give them bad indigestion from the food, others perhaps while they play, personally it does not affect me and sometimes you get hungry when you have been playing for hours and you have to eat something because it can give you fatigue and you will not make good decisions while playing.

I have to be fed and hydrated to play smoothly, especially when the tournament takes many hours.

I also feel sleepy after eating. Therefore, I try to eat 2-3 hours before the game session. Of course, with our modern rhythm of life, this is difficult to do. But with a long game, you need to replenish calories, because the sessions last 8-11 hours when moving to the final table of the tournament. At this time, I drink something sweet and eat a pear or a sandwich.

successlaw · Feb 12, 2022

I usually eat before I start a 3-4 hours session and it's very good for me

COMIRRR · Feb 12, 2022

It's easy for me because after I come home from work I eat and stay in bed for 1 hour and then I start playing a tournament,

Risto234 · Feb 12, 2022

I probably dont need to eat during poker session either but then again i would probably do that anyday rather than to starve ...

I can't play poker when I'm hungry, so I eat with my meals, and of course I drink water, tea, coffee all the time! They say that the brain does not work well on an empty stomach))) Good luck at the tables!

Xcoder · Feb 12, 2022

Eating makes us tired, specially when you eat a lot. so having somthing to munch on like chips etc is much better imo

sincos · Feb 12, 2022

Before the game you need to eat chocolate ..

partz · Feb 12, 2022

Yes why not. Some pizza and beer always works. It's not adviced to play on an empty belly ):

redmast · Feb 12, 2022

On the contrary, if I feel that I want to eat, I run for food. And that doesn't bother me at all. I think it also saves time on food.

Do you eat before playing poker?
