I often find it helpful to meditate or do breathing exercises to stay calm and focused. Or take a break if necessary. That works a lot for me to stay calm and play at my best. I read opinions, it doesn't have to be about poker either, a bit of everything. What strategy do you use?

You can swim in the sea at your place)) And so... sudden muscle contractions, try opening your mouth abruptly with neck tension, or exercising...

Whether you like it or not, poker ends up being a bit of a stressful game, when something goes wrong when you don't get your card, but it's part of the game and you need to maintain concentration.

I don't do any exercises or have any special preparation for the game. I stick to bankroll management, so any result, even a bad one, doesn't affect my mood or my confidence.
