A good question, like a really really good one!

Psych is a huge part of playing poker, especially live poker. Many pros nowadays have their own gurus or life coaches (or whatever it's called now) to help them prep for sessions.

Personally, back when I was grinding live poker hard, I would go through articles and videos about the specifics of the game I would eventually play that night.

For example, If I was going to play an MTT live, I would find a video like:
"top 5 tips for live MTT's", "Poker tells - how to stay focused during the game" etc.

Same goes for cash games. On the way to the session, I would sort of repeat it in my head, like lines to think about during the game which keeps me focused.

Since I am only play poker as a hobby, mostly online, I tend to play online chess to keep my brain going. Since I play blitz chess, I have the time to play one or two games during pauses which keeps my focus on a high enough level to keep playing online.
