Hello friend, I am looking for my lucky charm, having a fruit or a smoothie near you, a positive mind and most importantly a bottle of water, as you already mentioned.

1. I start by studying 📑 spots and range’s.
2. Pick a strategy eg. tight Aggressive or loose Passive.
3. Make sure to eat and stay hydrated

4. Just relax half and hour before the tournament start’s and Visualize winning 🥇.

Good luck 🍀👍 and have fun 🤩.

Usually, the tournaments I play start in the evening, so before the tournaments I have dinner and a cup of coffee. During tournaments, I can drink tea and eat pre-prepared sandwiches or fruit.

I have no preparation for the game as such. I have only two options, I either have free time and play or I don't have free time and then I work :)

What I do is very basic, have bottles of water within reach, have the food more or less organized so that during a break I can do everything quickly and just heat it up in the microwave, apart from that I don't do anything, I usually study or watch my session once finished all the tournaments, to also have my music playlist ready

Having a nap and a good meal always help.

The main thing is a good mood, a separate room so that no one distracts and probably this is all the preparation.😁

I don't do any preparation. I like to smoke a cigarette before the game but it's not my ritual.

I don't have that special preparation, I just tend to make tea often before playing.

I slept, ate, walked in the fresh air and went into battle, and most importantly, that no one interfered.

I don't prepare. I'm just here for fun and any kind of preparation would make it less fun. Playmoney player here.

Mainly online player. See Ratbags list above. Good list. I'd only add the following:

1) Be well rested and personally I like to shower just before every MTT or day playing begins.
2) Along with studying certain spots(I pick spots I think I need work at or I think I'm weak on). I also go over and make sure I have it clear in my head when I need/want to be shifting gears. Besides the obvious spots when I'm short stacked.
3) Bathroom break before MTT starts.


Cheers!!!

For me, I finish all my things in order to play in my comfort .
And I turn on some relaxing music to prepare mentally .

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I go for a walk an hour before the start of the tournament, sometimes I take a shower and rest before the game.
