1. Eliminate Distractions

How to warm up before playing poker

Poker Is A Fairly Complex Game That Requires Intense Concentration. So You Should Get Rid Of Distractions First. So You Have The Most Concentration And Chance To Win. Things You Should Do, For Example
– Go To The Bathroom. It’s Good To Take Breaks. But Stopping Halfway Through A UFABET Game Because You Have A Stomach Ache And Wanting To Go To The Bathroom Is Probably Bad For Your Concentration.
– Stay Away From The Phone For A While. May Not Need To Close The Machine. But Make Sure It Can’t Be Disturbed By Light Or Sound From Messages Or Notifications
. -Leave Social Media For A While If You Don’t Need To Read News Feeds Or Chat With Friends At This Time
. You Hungry Don’t Let Your Rumbling Stomach Get In The Way Of Your Play
– Make Sure Friends Or Family Don’t Bother You. Maybe Tell Them Ahead Of Time That You’re In Need Of Concentration.
– Have Drinking Water With You Being Thirsty Is A Big Problem That Prevents The Brain From Working Efficiently. So Don’t Forget To Carry Drinking Water With You.
– Turn Off Various Noise Channels. For Example If You Are Playing At Home Then There Might Be A Car Honking Sound. Neighbor’s Voice Or A Barking Dog Close Windows Or Other Outlets To Prevent Noise From Disturbing You.

2. Review The Knowledge That Has Just Been Learned.

Learning And Practicing Is The Key To Success In Playing Poker. But It’s Useless If You Don’t Actually Apply It. So Make Sure That The Things You Learn Are Still In Your Head And Ready To Be Used. You May Want To Take A Few Minutes To Review Them Before Playing.

The Easiest Way To Accomplish This Is To Apply What You’ve Learned To Situations You’ve Actually Encountered. For Example, Let’s Say You Tried To Play Post-Flop After Blocking Your BB With A Weak, Fast Hand. Recently, You Have Read An Article About This Subject. Imagine A Hand That You’ve Played That Might Have Been Over-Folded Or Over-Called In BB Before, Trying To Figure Out What You Could Do Differently To Get Better Results. Then Encountering The Kind Of Problem That You Have Already Found A Solution To. It Will Be The Easiest And Best Problem For You.

3. Make Your Mind Stable.

We Are All Just Human Beings. This Means That We Must Understand That Our Play Can Be Affected By Common Factors Such As Fatigue And Emotional States. It Can Affect Play If, For Example, You Are Tired. May Need To Take A Nap. Or Take A Full Break And Then Play Tomorrow. If You Feel Stressed Or Frustrated Or Sad Keep In Mind That Poker Is Already A Fairly Emotionally Challenging Game. Don’t Add These Emotions To Your Game. It’s A Good Idea To Work Out What’s Bothering You Before You Start Playing The Game. 

Or Even If You’re Feeling Good You Should Still Take A Moment To Get Into Neutral. Or Do Something Relaxing Before Playing, Such As Listening To Music, Meditating, Etc.

Even A Short Break Can Help You Mentally Prepare For The Variance That Will Occur In The Game. But You Still Have The Chance To Lose Your Footing In The Early Stages Of Play. Which Is Fine But Don’t Let Those Short-Term Results Influence The Rest Of Your Play.
