hey guys, just thought i would post something that might be of interest to those who are more inclined towards a live format than an online format. getting back into my routine of hitting the casino and was just wondering what everyone does to amp themselves up before the big all-nighter at the live games?

i used to have an amp up playlist (a lot of jayz on there lol) as well as notes that i tried to read through and soak in before finally getting to the poker room. anyone have any specific routines?

my list:
1) remember that at the start of the session, avoid playing too many hands before you get a comfortable stack to make 3bets or loose calls oop.
2) to hell with your ego. the best motivator on the table is profit - no need to get into a dick measuring contest with your chip stack. play proper poker and don't let anyone tilt or steam you up.
3) take a smoke break after a bad beat. don't try to win it back in the immediate hand after. recuperate, think over the hand and how you could've played it better.
4) get adjusted to the table and the inclinations of every other player. their cards take priority over my holdings. as phil galfond said, "every moment is your opportunity to make the perfect play".
5) win.
