Concentration before the game

[dianasamu355]

What helps you prepare for a poker game? Some people need an aggressive mood, while others benefit from calm music.

I always take a shower before a series of poker games. Yes, I can't sit down at the table while I'm feeling uncomfortable. Well, luck likes cleanliness. I don't use music or anything motivational while playing poker. I am always focused as money is the best motivation for me!

When a person is already in a lot of competitions, then there is no need for unnecessary exercises Just concentration

Some good food, and good music

Personally, what helps me is a cup of coffee, closing all tabs, Telegram, etc., and putting on something wordless in the background like lo-fi or just rain sounds.

If I’m playing live, it’s a bit of a different vibe (especially if I’m into the atmosphere). In that case, the less distraction, the better. The main thing is not reading the news or arguing with anyone before the game, so my head stays clear and no random thoughts creep in.

freshen up,eat light,stay hydrated and listen to potify🤣

Taking a shower, eating energy foods, maintaining an exercise routine before the grind, this helps a lot with concentration during the grind.

I like to play quietly.

 

[alucaa]

I have to eat something before or while I eat, if I'm hungry while I play normally I play fatal, not that I play well, but I play worse than normal

 

[Station_Master]

I find some decent tables and sit down and play, no warm up routine needed

I find 10 stars jump followed by a round of depth breathing gets me ready for any tournament.

Hi
Sleep helps me. I usually like to take an hour's nap before evening tournaments. It allows me to play better with more patience and focus. You should try it too, it's still free to take a nap

 

[antonis32123]

I try to sleep well , be fresh , relaxed before I play a poker game . Nothing else . Everything else is a routine when playing at the tables , same things , focus and try play the best you can

The only thing I need is a good night of sleep. I notice that on weekends I play better because I sleep better. On week days, there are many times that I fall asleep during a tournament..lol

Having a good rest and a great mood is probably the best way to start the game.

I'm taking a nap before the game - after all, I'm an old woman...

The ability to focus on the game and not be distracted by extraneous irritants is one of the main skills in poker.I listen to music all the time, I find it very uncomfortable to play in silence. During a break in tournaments, I can do some physical exercises, or even take a quick shower. The main recipe for preparation is to get a good night's sleep before the session.

A good meal and a good music selection and i am good to grind 😁

 

[NSX_Amfe2nat]

music and being alone for a while

 

[CaioRJ]

Good and balance food
Drink Water
Sleep 8 hours

If i can't do it, i play a bad tournament with worst decisions

 

[fernandofcp]

Before playing a poker tournament, I try to concentrate on doing other activities that have nothing to do with poker. I like to walk, talk, watch a good movie or do some physical exercise. If I think about the tournament I'm going to play, I get tense and very anxious, and when the tournament starts, I'm already very distracted. My concentration depends on not thinking about the tournament I'm going to play in advance. This helps me a lot with my logical reasoning during the game.

 

[havingfun]

For me it helps to be calm when I play. If I get to worked up I make rash decisions that get me in trouble.
So after a work day when you have also finished a workout and it's time to just relax, suits me.

Before an important tournament, I just sleep 😄

 

[Toruk Makto]

This is very essential for good tournament performance!

In my opinion, to effectively prepare for poker, you must learn the rules and hand classifications, study strategy, including betting and reading your opponents, practice regularly, manage your emotions to stay calm under pressure, understand the odds, manage your bankroll wisely, and watch professional games to learn from experienced players. With a little luck, that's it.
