Howzit,

I have been Wondering if anybody has any helpful pregame rituals and preparation before cash or tournament poker,

Currently mine is to not play poker on the day, take an afternoon nap, buy a pack of smokes and a energy drink and then beg a deity that I don’t believe in for some luck:)

I am kidding I don’t believe in luck!

please reply with some funny, creative or honest answers

I think it's a good ritual to get a good night's sleep, eat, drink coffee and finish all the important things without anything distracting you from the game.

I also like to sleep before a game, it's important to me. Then I have a light dinner, coffee, and get to work :)

I just try to take a break from poker, generally a couple of hours or more.

A talisman in the form of a dodecahedron should help well in the game!
Well, and of course we must constantly pray to the poker gods! ))

I have no special training for the game. I just come home after work and if I have enough free time I play. However, I almost always make myself sandwiches before a game, but I don't consider it preparation for a tournament, it's more like a banal physiological necessity :)

I guess it's important to think carefully about how to deal with tilt and to prepare myself so that I can keep my cool even as the tournament enters the final stages.
