HelloAbout half an our before, take a good shower, fix about 1/2 liter of coffee to drink during the game, liter of water, put on wearing my cowboy hat and, finally, set up the songs to roll. These all if the game is a kind of an important one.

Roll it up. Light it up. Smoke it.

But not too much. Just a couple or three hits to hold me over until the first break. When the first break arrives, rinse and repeat. Then when the slow players play slow and the constant and repeated all-inners constantly go all-in, none of it will faze me.

I will try to take a walk in the fresh air before the game and stock up on drinks.

prepration for poker

there is nothing like a warm-up for poker, cause poker is not a game of physics. however, before playing poker a minute concentration, or drinking a glass of water, or taking a good breath, maybe have a good quality sleep over the last night would be helpful to improve your quality during a gameplay

I don't think about strategy before tournaments, I just go with the flow. But other things I do is go for a little walk outside and make coffee so my brain is functioning from the first hand onwards.

I visualize my goal and the best strategy to adopt to get there. when I am too tired I sleep for an hour or two before the start of my session. when i'm not motivated enough or in a bad mood. I repeat the same sentence for several minutes like for example (I am happy) to eliminate all the negative thoughts which will prevent me from playing my A game and making the right decisions.

My preparation for the tournament takes about half an hour. The preparation is that I make myself coffee, go to the balcony and smoke. Very banal preparation.

Personally, I do not do preliminary preparation for the game (online). But for me the main thing is to sleep well, and it is imperative that a couple of hours pass after I wake up. And, of course, so that no one interferes and there are no tasks that could distract.

I usually don't to any special preparation, except when it is a big tournament. If it's a important game, I usually sleep well in the night before and make some food to eat during the tournament.

for me, the best preparation before a game session is to take a premature break from poker until I have the desire to play this game, my eyes should be burning with the desire to win and show my best game. Before the game session, I should have a good night's sleep, relax it's fresh air, I should be in a good mood I should prepare food in advance be focused no one and nothing should distract me from the game

I'm not preparing for anything special, just the desire to play.

Good Morning ! Yes, it is always good to have a revision in the previous games or more that you played in a way or how you could have played more or less that or even watch a poker video for a few minutes to play focused.

As strange as it sounds, I mentally prepare myself for the game 20-40 minutes before each session. Basically I try to achieve a neutral state of calm. In addition, sometimes I read 1-3 articles about poker, because I think that theory is never enough and you need to be aware of new trends in poker.

Hi Nane

Here is a guided meditation of sorts for preparation before the game.
Hope you enjoy it & find elements you can use in your own pre game!


Ultimately the best routine is the one that works for you. Some people like to exercise before, some like to meditate, some like to go to the spa, some like to pray and set intentions, some do a mix of all of the above. I say do what works for you and helps your feel your best so you can play your best.

This additional video is also great for setting yourself up to win. Hope it helps!

Cool, people! I like to listen to music, if possible to do some physical activity before. It is important for the mind to be fully functioning. Hugs.

No, no special preperation. Except if I have really important tournaments on that day, I keep in mind that I must have had some exercise that day and also I look for some warm-up tournaments that would help me focus on that important tourney.

I am not a professional player. Poker is fun for me, so I don't need anything but a good mood and a desire to play

:D

I try to have a good rest before the tournament. Some tournaments last a very long time, so you need to be energetic throughout the game.
