What to do Before a Poker Tournament

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.

Proper Diet:
Eating right is very important to keeping the body running well. When playing poker the last thing you want is to get a drop in energy because you have not been eating right. Also they have scheduled breaks for the bathroom, and eating improperly can cause you to have to go irregularly and this can break your concentration.

Keeping the Body in Shape:
If you want to be at your best during a poker tournament it is to your advantage to be in good shape. A healthier person will have a better endurance level and will not get tired after several hours on playing poker. Many out of shape people have a tendency to get sleepy and then sloppy in the way they play

Regulate Your Sleep:
By making sure you get a full night sleep every night and wake up at the same time every day for several weeks your body will repair itself faster, and the schedule will help you get a better night sleep. In return this will help keep your mind working while playing in the tournament. The average human needs 8 hours of sleep. Some people can get less sleep and be fully rested and some need more sleep. Make sure to get the optimal sleep for you.

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.

Using this as a guide to help get you ready for a poker tournament can help make a big difference in your game play during the competition.
