I am generally very focused on the tournament or at the game table that I don't feel like eating, and because of the emotions, it would not be advisable to eat :D

Hello.
In general, I follow a healthy lifestyle and always try to eat healthier food. In general, I prefer vegetables and fruits. But in most cases I play in the evenings and at night, so I usually only drink water or tea.

I don’t advise you to eat a lot before the game, it’s very relaxing, and the game needs composure and concentration

In many cases it is better, but sometimes we need to eat something while we are playing to calm the nerves and anxieties while playing.

Everyone has to know for themselves what they think is best, but playing with hunger is not a good idea in my opinion. Of course not something to eat that stimulates the intestines. For me personally, if I'm hungry then I have to eat something. I generally eat before a tournament starts, but sometimes during an online tournament as well. It's been too long since I've played live so I can't say how it would be there but when it comes to online I don't really care if I eat or not because I don't bother anyone with it. In the live tournament, I can imagine that this can be annoying for other players

Nothing large before or during play, just small snacks.

I've also read that it's a bad idea to eat, or drink during a tournament.

If eating makes you feel uncomfortable while playing, then it's definitely a bad idea.

You need to feel as comfortable as possible, so that your thinking isn't compromised.

Being hungry while playing makes me tilt for small things. I can't really focus, and make mistakes, which tiltes me, which makes me angry, and so on... Just the same as being tired, but the difference is that you just need to go and eat for the first case, which is acceptable if you play cash, but have to wait the break in mtts. For the second case, well you should stop, and being tired means you will be in good shape not so soon.

It should be a matter of individual choice, I will have a cup of wine and maybe some cheese, no heavy food until the game is over. :five:

Eating the greasiest food possible without any napkins playing live is the most +EV I've heard.
