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

[FuccinALLin]

Dont really prep.. just mentally i guess.. getting in that disaplined state of mind is the main thing

 

[Brian Morin]

I don't have any special rituals. For example, how do you put on a cowboy hat But I always try to get a good sleep before an online poker match. Then the head thinks well, the mind is clear and it is easier to concentrate. I also try to eat before the match. Because then I just can forget about it and my stomach will hurt. It is very unpleasant when such things are distracted during the game.

That's correct.

I like to workout before a session, have a shower, fill up the water bottle and get a good playlist going

 

[abgvedr]

I do not prepare. I start tournament and immediately i want to eat, to drink, to sleep, to pee, and remember i did not turn off the iron so yeah. Preparation is not my strong side.

A game of poker in its early days requires mental preparation accompanied by light eating to conserve maximum energy to go further in the game.

 

[LukasynoACAB]

Mentally prepare is important of course but before the match iam trying to chillout and focus at the target which is on front of me as big tournament , dont distract ,bootle of whisky and Sprite and iam always playing like for fun cause when i want to win some really big money and its closer and closer to IT iam nervous sometimes and i make a bad decisions . So mentally preparing for it is most important .

Nothing special get some coffe and somthing to eat and water and gl...

 

[daurensdo]

Probably a week before the game you need not play at all, create mental starvation

 

[Joe1]

i eat very well before i play because i have no time for online poker during the break and have to use the 5 minutes for other things ... strengthened with a full stomach is a must for me

 

[AmyricoLiliana]

I don't usually do any special rituals before playing poker.
I usually take the game seriously at night. During the day, I only play freerolls sometimes. There are time when I put the little girl to sleep, rock her and sit on an SnG or something.

 

[viacheslavtezikov]

Sleep well and do not drink alcohol before the game)

 

[mina271]

Before I start playing I have something to eat and choose my favorite music list and make myself coffee, I always have a bottle of water next to me so that I can have a drink during the break.

 

[popstani]

Most of the time I play when I finish my work, so I make my self a coffee, relax and enjoy in game.

 

[Pokerpoet2]

I do absolutely nothing, normally when I play an On-line MTT I am using that to prepare for a Live event, I will play a lot of low stake MTTs to get me in the frame of mind to tackle a Live MTT marathon which will take a lot longer to play.

When the fun Stops, STOP!

 

[lexyyxel]

Get in the mode, good playlist and have fun

 

[Yauhenik]

i can't play without whiskey

 

[LoveAndPoker]

1. Before game - sleep
2. Vodka
3. Allin in 1st level
4. Party all day

 

[Tomek416]

All I do in preparation is to smoke a couple of cigarettes.

 

[Robsant]

I watch poker videos

 

[CaptainMooti]

My ideal ritual is: Workout, meditate, have some food, and a lot of coffee before and throughout!

 

[Luvepoker]

I usually turn on my computer and recline in my chair and then have fun. Ok seriously, I like to meditate before playing.

when I play on week days, I workout before the matches too. Coffee is 'essential'.

Meditation makes we feel really good.

I think you just need to get a good night's sleep before the poker session. And when you wake up, make some strong tea. Not coffee.
