ABS. Always Be Studying. That always gets me ready to play my A game.
 
If I have money, micro Sit & Goes, but if not, then I either lounge around and try and get some work done.
 
I watch my three grand kids that live with me they know when my game starts not to bug me.
 
I go to cardschat and look at posts about poker. It works for me it puts me in the mood to play.

i play in 2/5 cent zoom tourn
or if theirs a 1cent tourn comming up or runing i join in just to pass the time and try and win a ticket to another tourn before my real tourn starts up.
 
Just doing some diffrent things. Usually it's surfing on internet. It really can steel a time.
 
when I have the time. I watch a strategic video to prepare me. I go out smoking and drink a lot of water to stimulate my brain. I set myself a goal and the strategy I must adopt to achieve it.

Frankly I play cash games and fast option. Playing many hands for a short time I think it is a good option.

In anticipation of the tournament doing nothing, watching a movie or gaming streams, or you are playing Dark souls for example ))))))
 
Podcasts, reading the news/a book, playing micro cash games, or doing some short, low energy tasks from my various checklists. I set time aside for poker, so I neither work while I play (or wait to play) nor play while I work.
 
I listen to some of Jonathan Little or David Tuchman's strategy sessions/podcasts, or I watch videos of final table play.
 
Sometimes I start to play some smaller SNGs, DONs or SPINs before or just relax and read some here at the forum.
 
It depends on how much time I have before the game starts. I might play w/the dog, make a drink, go play a sng or some PLO/8. I might even come see what's going on in the CC community.
 
personally i play my favorite music it relaxes me 🙂 but thats just me i used to go make a coffee lol

Play VLTs and have a beer or two. Go for a smoke walk around look at people hit jackpots in the casino and wait some more TIL it starts
