Do you have a routine that you follow every time you play poker? I’m trying to learn more about the game and looking for strategies I could adopt. Some people boast of routine before they sit down to play. Do you have any?
 
My routine is a small stretch and a quick review of the last session I had. If I jump in without better preparation, I would play loose. I don't underestimate preparation at all.
 
I've been playing MTT professionally for 4 years. I find it very important to maintain a routine, both in my studies and before starting the grind. When I deviate from the routine, things usually don't go as well. I typically study and practice spots for at least 20 or 30 minutes every day and do some stretching before starting a session.
 
I like to make sure I'm well-rested, it's never good to play when tired. Eating properly before I start playing helps keep me refreshed too. Other than that I don't really have a pre-game routine.
