Message: [QUOTE="hobojim1247, post: 6676937, member: 488197"] I think the whole purpose is to get oneself to a state of not being distracted from the game. Some people go thru a set of rituals for that purpose. Others make sure drinks and snacks are prepared and readily available without distraction. I like to clear my mind of unnecessary distractions caused by everyday life. AND one guy I knew had no preparation, he showed up, sat down and once the cards were dealt he zoned in and nothing could penetrate his bubble. You could have told him that his house was on fire and his family was trapped and he would have told you to call the fire department and let them handle it and continued to play cards, never missing a beat. Whatever worx for you. [/QUOTE]
