How do you prepare yourself just before an online poker match?

[bigthereal]

nothing special, just sit down and play

well-slept
focus in what u are going to do
review errors u did before
turn off ur mobile notifications
choose the correct music playlist
destroy everyone u see at the table

Small details make a big difference.

Hello everyone!
I wonder if do you guys make some specials, like a ritual, procedure or whatever.
I, about half an our before, take a good shower, fix about 1/2 liter of coffee to drink during the game, liter of water, put on wearing my cowboy hat and, finally, set up the songs to roll. These all if the game is a kind of an important one.
What about you?

I meditate

Well, I'm Gaucho from Estato do Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil.
Our tradition here is to drink a good Chimarrão every day.
This is more than important to improve my concentration during games.
Regarding music or any other connected sound, I prefer total silence so as not to lose focus.

I always make some treats and leave them near my laptop, that and a bottle of water

 

[tomk7788]

Women and booze to loosen you up before a big session.

I rarely prepare. It is wise to go to the toilet first

I do a kind of warm-up for the brain and adjust it to the right way. Plus, the well-known poker psychologist Jared Tendler writes in his book that he teaches all his clients (top players) to warm up.
But there are many advantages:
1. Goals-remember why we play
(winning money is a bad goal) and what our poker goals are: + Motivation.
+Tiltproof
2. Faces-we remind ourselves of our most frequent faces: + Mindfulness. + Upgrade your skill during the game.
3. Psychology-situations that can lead us to tilt: + Tilt stability.
+Tilt Recognition
4. Concentration-meditation, shower, light physical exercises, eliminate distractions: + + + Concentration.

I think the participants in this forum have approximately the same preparation ritual. We are waiting for the password to appear, register and languish for five minutes, waiting for the start of the tournament.

I usually set timer for start time. And will get a snack and water ready

 

[steveeeee]

If it is a team game i try not to play much on the day of the game to allow the poker gods time to replentish my good vibes. other than that a cold beer will work gla

 

[mp3player]

always take a rest and keep your mind of things don't play a tourney when you played other tourney cuz it will cause you to tilt

 

[BOMDEBLEF]

I sleep well, and I take a bottle of water from where I sit to play. The concentration is all in poker.

Spots and clouds maa cuz the good life

How to prepare yourself when you know full well your gonna encounter allsorts of players from idiots to decent players and from total donkey splashing moronic
Super duper jerk luck masters to great players, and that's the reason why online poker seems rigged and that's the reason why you always get that feeling " is this shit worth it"

 

[canabero]

just nothing and even more i don't have a schedule to play tournaments , i just play a tournament when i have time to play it ( or when i'm awake) if i miss it.... i missed it.

 

[carlosnuno]

I usually prepare a coffee and play some background music to enjoy the game

 

[Gusborgs22]

I dont have a ritual, just quit of all distractions, its nice to be foucus on the tables that you are playing to identify how the villains are playing.
For exemple: some days ago i was playing a MTT and there was a guy that evey time someone limps he's BB he raises like 15bb. So when i found a good hand on his BB i just limped

Poker readiness!

Actually, I try to free myself from any business or finish everything started, and during breaks I brew coffee and smoke a vape. But sometimes, when I'm unlucky, I think about putting my happy comb in my pocket.

I make sure I have enough sleep and rest before sitting on the table.
