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.
To get a good night sleep before is truly important, and it's for everything.

Coffee and heaps of cones in the morning, beer and heaps of cones in the afternoon, and single malt whisky and heaps of cones in the evening.

My ritual: sleep well, warn my family not to be distracted if the game is very important, a cup of coffee an hour and a half before the start.

I don't have any rituals, I just bet I will play very tight now. Which, of course, I can do only for a few minutes, then again I call all sorts of rubbish and I fall the party.

Dacă este un eveniment principal mă odihnesc cu aproximativ 4 ore înainte de a începe, apă și cafea în timpul jocului, cu alcool riscați niște decizii greșite, deci fără alcool în timpul jocului

Take a shower, have a nice not excessive food, smoke one cigar, and sit at the tables, nothing special, my bottle of water always in the tables.

Hello everyone!
I wonder if do you guys make some specials, like a ritual, procedure or whatever.
I, about half an our before, take a good shower, fix about 1/2 liter of coffee to drink during the game, liter of water, put on wearing my cowboy hat and, finally, set up the songs to roll. These all if the game is a kind of an important one.
What about you?


Hi Rob Hobson. One thing for me is to never play before 12pm. Before that, I do all this, which I really like doing. If I don't do some posting and start playing early, I think of it like bad luck. GL to you

I know it’s best to be fully focused on playing poker at all times but the thing I enjoy most about playing online is I can watch YT or Netflix even watch poker streams or vlogs when I’m playing. Even this year I was playing trying to qualify through a satellite on wsop App while at the raiders/Miami game( just so you know phones don’t work well at the Allegiant stadium my iphone 12 Pro Max kept disconnecting from the app even though I had full signal some areas of the stadium work better than others)

I try to prepare some food and drinks, use the toilet before and make sure there is nothing which can disturb my play. Then I can play and enjoy the game. Sometimes im listening to music, sometimes i prefer silence. It depends how focus I am
