it's best to eat before the game or during a break when you have time to eat something delicious, such as a quick pizza so as not to be distracted from the game and annoy other players. If you are very hungry, it's better to eat chocolate or drink coffee or plain water

Я буквально только что прочитал ветку, в которой обсуждалось необычное место для игры в покер. Это натолкнуло меня на мысль, кто что ест во время игры? Ведь наверняка найдутся любители покушать во время раздачи онлайн.)
When the tournament is long and I want to eat, I go to the kitchen.:)

I make sure I have my dinner cooked before I sit down to play poker because they last so long and then on them short five minute breaks I’m running there and make my plate and warm it up and eat it while I’m playing .

I try to eat during the breaks if I need to.

Thinks best to start off your poker session fed and hydrated.

I often eat something while playing because tournaments take a long time and playing when hungry makes you lose concentration a lot and I think this is detrimental to the game.

Before the game, I usually make myself sandwiches, or if there is no such possibility, then as a last resort, I always have several packs of cookies :)

Before I start playing I always leave some easy things to eat during the breaks, I think it's important to play with a full stomach so you can concentrate on something that if you're hungry is a little more difficult to concentrate

Only crisps or some fruit for me when I am playing, nothing I could knock over on my computer desk.

I mostly eat chips and drink beer while playing :)
This is my main diet. Sometimes, if my wife is in a good mood, she can prepare something more substantial for me, but unfortunately it doesn't happen that often :)

The ideal meal during online poker sessions should provide sustained energy without causing drowsiness or distraction. Opt for light and nutritious options that are easy to eat and won't leave your hands greasy. Consider snacks like nuts, fruits, or granola bars for quick energy boosts. If you prefer a more substantial meal, go for lean protein sources like grilled chicken or fish paired with whole grains and vegetables. Avoid heavy, high-fat foods that can lead to sluggishness. Remember to stay hydrated with water or herbal teas to maintain focus and alertness throughout your session. Balancing nutrition with your gaming session can help optimize your performance and endurance at the virtual tables.

There's nothing wrong with eating for a few hours of poker and drinking something non-alcoholic is also fine. You should enjoy poker the way you think is right.

Typically eating will relax me to much since blood goes to the stomach while digesting.

I like enjoy my food mindfull, so I'd rather take a small break. Also good to reset my state of mind a bit.

If there is no choice, I like a protein bar with some coffee or something small and healthy like fruit or yoghurt.

At 8-14 hour sessions it is impossible to eat only fruits.. I am trying to use my breaks to warm already prepared food and eat it when new hour comes

Some MTTs last 12 hours, so food is essential.
