Ok so, i play poker everyday but obv the best games are on in the evenings and during the night for both mtt, stt and cash players.

But obv this means that sleeping patterns are crap and eating, drinking isnt exactly the best.

My question is what are u guys doing to stop feeling like shit when you wake up in the morning etc.

So is anyone not like this? If so what do they do?

I need to stop feeling like i just died everytime i wake up in the morning afternoon!! Because obv u cannot play the best poker either when ur not feeling 100%

do you dream about poker and incessantly go over hands in your head when you go to bed?

Yup I go through cycles of being completely nocturnal. That is when I feel best but then it's hardest to have any form of normal life, go to many shops and see mates etc!


I'd guess people gonna say lots of exercise and just eat well but i'm gonna stick with my bad diet and see where it takes me.

Also gotta plan in the breaks from poker when you can and take some time away so that you have more interest/enjoyment when you are back instead of being in that back to the grind mentality if you know what I mean.

Not sure its possible, its pretty tough to wake up at a normal time, do some sort of fitness regime, then put in a big session of like 20 torns in a night playing from say 6-12 and not be too tired etc if your going to be playing most days within a month.
Its not so bad if only playin around half the month, but if your an MTT grinder your going to be playing most days really.

Then you end up going deep in one of the late ones and your sleep patterns fked and you just end up waking up a few hours later everyday and go all the way back to where you were again.

Also, you wake up at some ridic time, and have nothing in to eat, or can't or don't have time to make anything because your playing, you just end up eating shit stuff.

This is basically how its been for last year or so for me/us. Trying to sort it a bit now, playing footy few times a week and plan to eat better and get fit again. Can only be a good thing really.
