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

[viacheslavtezikov]

In principle, I do not prepare myself before the match. The main thing is to be rested and calm before the game)

 

[RJohnson1188]

I try multiple things to find a away where I can remain calm and not frustrated to certain hands. Listening to music or having sweets keep me from not being overly aggressive when I shouldn't be and has me stop what I'm doing to think more rationally.

No ritual, if you find me the most comfortable place in the house, put a few beers to chill and that's it!

Depends on the tourney - recently I start getting the "brain fuel" drinks, and they may not be the best taste, but they do help me stay focused for the long Sundays grinds. Also, I usually skim over the preflop charts for the tourney type I'm playing and go over my notes from my last sessions (the good, the bad, and the ugly. I also skim over my monthly notes that I'm working on (found leaks from monthly recap and studies. And there are sessions when I just want to play, and populate new data for me

I usually read a little beforehand, to feel more relaxed and focused, have a cup of coffee and if I'm feeling well, sit down to play. I avoid playing when I'm stressed or nervous, it just makes me lose money, every time.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, 1966 is a good movie, one everyman should watch, indeed.

That's right.

Ive started watching the Poker Stars videos on Instagram. I kid you not, they have really taught me ways where i am going wrong and also the ability to ‘believe in my hands’.

I just have to had enough sleep, then avoid rush and be ready in time.

 

[SheldonMS]

I always try to study a little, review hands from the day before, do some simulations.

Chug some water. Rip a dab and fire away!:thrasher:

 

[bertaS1234]

You need to relax. If you play with tension, you accept mistakes. During an important tournament you need to think about something easy, simple.

 

[alien666dj]

Before the start of the game, I do a jog in the stadium.

How do I prepare for tournaments?

Hello everyone! I try to participate in tournaments when I have free time. Before a tournament with a monetary reward, I train in tournaments for conditional chips. So, when the time comes for an important tournament for me, I feel more confident.:deal:

 

[VVi10]

Usually I don't have a specific ritual for each tournament that I'm going to start, but being seated, focused and with a glass of water at your side is always important to me.

 

[zipocool]

if this is an online session, then no special rituals are needed, you sit down at the computer and calmly play a regular session, it is advisable only to get a good sleep before that and it is advisable to exclude alcohol during the game, as this can negatively affect the result

 

[cowboybebop]

I dont really preapare myself for the tourney.Maybe i sometimes make some hot chocolate or grab a couple of sweets to eat during the match.

 

[Risto234]

I wonder if do you guys make some specials, like a ritual, procedure or whatever.

Tribal ceremony would be perfect before any poker event ...

 

[mimietmour]

I visualize my terminal place. And I try to achieve that place if mother luck does'nt play bad things to me.

 

[fang215874]

It is better not to take alcohol at all a month before the game. Be sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep. And a little bit of physical activity, push-ups and squats will do.
