Poker Tournament: How to be Prepared

By: Mia Palermos

Practice:
Before going into any big money poker tournament it is important to spend as much time as possible playing poker. The more hands you play the more you will learn, and the better you will get. I personally will spend up to 5 hours a day in an online casino or poker room, and then on the weekend I will go to the casinos and spend the entire weekend at the poker table with the exception of a few hrs a day to sleep. When I ht the casinos for these mini marathon poker weekends I like to put some wet wipes in my pocket just to make it easer to clean up so I do not have to leave the table.

A medium sized poker tournament can take as long as half a day before a winner is declared and the really big ones can take 2 days of playing. Sometimes you could be sitting at the poker table playing for up to 5 hours without a break in the game. This can take its toll on the body and the mind, so before the game arrives here are some ways to help prepare your mind and your body.

Eat right:
Eating well balanced meals will help you when you are playing in a poker tournament by keeping your body working at its best levels. If you are staving yourself or stuffing your face with junk foods you are going to be unstable from all the hunger and the sugar which will give you highs where you will fell very energetic but will change to a lethargic feeling quickly.

Exercise:
The amount of concentration needed to win a poker tournament regardless of it being in a casino or in an online casino or poker room, can cause the body to become tired after just a few hours. Exercising regularly will help you build the body's stamina

Sleep:
The body needs on average 8 hours of sleep every day to keep your brain functioning properly. for at least a week before the tournament you need to make sure to not only get 8 hours of sleep every night you need to make sure to get to bed at the same time every night and to wake up at the same time. This pattern of rest will help the body and the mind stay at their best when you get to the poker table. You would not want to be all sleepy and yawning during the game.

Study:
Leading up to any poker tournament you should make sure to study the game. We already know you have to play as many hands as you can, but you should also watch other people play. In recent years channels like ESPN have been airing high stake poker games and tournaments. These televised games often have some of the world's best players, and studying their game and figuring out their strategies can make a big difference when you are playing. If you can figure out why one of the worlds best players is doing what he is doing you should be able to figure out the game of the people you are playing against.

Hopefully these tips will be as helpful for you as they have been fro me over the years.
