Do you have any rituals before playing (coffee, music, luck, etc.)?

Do you usually do anything before you start playing?

get a good night's sleep

 

[LiviuRo123]

Yeah, I usually grab a coffee and listen to some calm music before I start playing. It helps me relax and focus. I try to treat every session like a reset - clear mind, no distractions, and good energy before the first hand.

The main thing is that the ritual does not turn into an irrational superstition, because of which the player violates the basic strategies of the game.Online players place importance on the background color and the back of the cards.Personally, I love the color blue, I have a table of this color.

Good morning,
I practice meditation before playing poker to sharpen focus, manage emotions, and prepare my mental state for the game. Also professional players often use mindfulness techniques to gain a mental edge over their opponents and counter the effects of tilt.

I don’t really have a routine, but I think I should. I believe having one could help me improve my game.

 

[claitonjr]

no

Having pre-game rituals like drinking coffee, listening to music, or even following small superstitions can actually be helpful before playing poker. These habits can help you get into a focused and relaxed mindset, signal your brain that it’s “game time,” and reduce anxiety before a long session. However, it’s important that these rituals don’t become crutches — for example, if you can’t focus without coffee or feel uneasy without your “lucky” item, it can mess with your confidence. In moderation, rituals are great for mental preparation and consistency.

The main thing is to take a comfortable seat in an armchair or on the couch, and not to let anyone get in the way. And this often happens only at night 😁

exactly this, also I have to learn how to handle bad beats

 

[BillyR23]

I think I'm not paying enough attention to this aspect... but I still try to be well rested and focused only on my game before starting my poker session...

Have a great Sunday everyone and GLGL at the tables 💸💸💸

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

I usually sleep well before the game, eat, and finish all non-poker matters so as not to be distracted from the game.

 

[ztibor72]

I usually make a pot of green tea, turn on the TV for background noise, and turn my phone down.

 

[bablovod]

My ritual is to go to the potty and think about the upcoming game there.

 

[Thom223]

Good sleep, and a nice cup pf coffee

 

[nabmom]

My ritual is to go to the potty and think about the upcoming game there.

This is exactly my routine! And deciding if I really have the energy to play (if I’m too tired or not in the mood, I won’t play the game).

But reading some of the responses here makes me wonder if I shouldn’t do some deep breathing and get some more focus before playing.

A long exercise (overexposure) can lead to severe fatigue, then the body may resist its subsequent exploitation in a brainstorm

 

[Yaviness]

No, I believe a good night sleep is enough for me

 

[Garik777]

Before I start playing, I usually turn on some music that I like🎧

 

[dompoker]

Not right now, but I think it's necessary to exercise and have faith in the cards before and during the game.

Getting a good sleep is the best decision — you never know, if things go well, the tournament could last a long time. And the longer it goes for you, the bigger the winnings, so you need to be full of energy. As for pre-game rituals, sometimes I shave and say, “I’m shaving off the bad luck,” though I don’t really think it helps)))
