Preparation for LIVE Tournaments.

[ScoobyEdu]

I'd love to see the Hand History for this tournament. Why don't you post up some hands from it? (or a link to a video of the entire Hand History)

Amazeballs!

If it's a specific type of spot, just let me know and I'll share it here.
But unfortunately, my HH only reviews people I know and have some conversation with.
And that's the most I can do for someone with a restricted profile.

Yesterday I managed to qualify for day 2.
If I don't make it to the money in this tournament, it will be the last major tournament of the year...
I managed to qualify in 9th place... I passed with almost 50BB.
And let's go, it starts from here...
I'll be back soon with more news...

Hello Friends!!!

Today I bring you the balance of my live tournaments for the year 2024.

I wanted to end with a bankroll of 3k, but if I ended the year in a draw I would be satisfied.

I ended with -R$190.00, but I consider the year to be very productive, especially due to the results of the prizes won.

And let's start the spreadsheet for the year 2025.
May this year achieve better numbers....
And remembering and thanking CC, as many paid tournaments were played with the prizes from our freerolls.

THANK YOU CARDSCHAT !!!!

Watching this Fantastic video with @Ashley Sleeth and I learned a lot ...

📹 Top Tips for Beginner Poker Players In Their First Live Game 📹

And as I'm starting live as well as our friend, @Sheepshaker !!!!

I was curious about one thing, online tournament I have my routine depending on the game, the time... whether it's taking care of my food and mental preparation too...

I wanted to know with the other friends of the forum, which tips they can indicate to be done in the pre-game.

Looking to enter the live game well prepared mentally and physically.

And thank you all for this amazing video, especially for @Ashley Sleeth !!!!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!

Biggest for me is the eat sleep thing but after hit 40s noticed flying in needed 2 days recovery to vegas instead of the goto casino as get there....at one time before 40s go right to tables early 40s like 42 started needing a 3 hour to 6 hour sleep....mid 40s needed a day then late 40s needed two days honestly flying was too much on my body I guess at that point

Rest is really important...
Even to play some tournaments that last 2 days... without the proper rest... on day 2 I felt like a ZOMBIE. lol
And I feel what you said... today at 47 years old...
And still facing a tough game with my parents and my master's degree... A master's degree that I can't finish and my parents have dementia... one is well advanced and the other is average.
But that's the cool thing about poker, it teaches us to be an extremely adaptable person...
I'm still a bit too reactive with the things in my day to day life...
And unfortunately this has been affecting my game...
As a friend of mine says: A poker player is like bread dough, it only grows when it gets beaten...
lol
