    Default Pregame Ritual

    Do you have a pre(poker)game ritual? I read somewhere that’s it’s a good ideal to have one. Do either of you practice this? If so, what is it? I would like to start one but am not sure what to include.

    Thxs in advance

    don't raise with the straight flush bro, nobody ever gonna call that shit

    I used to have a pre-game ritual, and I used to make sure I was in exactly the right state of mind, etc. etc.

    But then I realised that I'd be playing 1 hour out of a spare 5 and that sucked.. So now I just play whenever the games are good and I don't feel tired/tilted.
    Listen to my music

    No ritual, but it is important to try to get your mind in the game before you start. If you're still distracted with other matters you'll make dumb mistakes.
    Just dipping my toes back in.

    Blood sacrifice is good.

    I think a chicken every now and then will suffice through about $3/$6 but above that level I'd suggest a goat about once every three months.

    LOL - ok, I get it... a ritual is not necessary.
