Working out before playing poker
Anybody else notice a difference in their poker play when they worked out or had some significant physical activity earlier in the day? For me it just seems like those emotions that lead to tilty calldowns and bad bets.. like anger, restlessness, and insecurity that people are taking shots at you just hardly ever surface if I get my playing in after going to the gym. Things just flow off em a lot easier. My concentration for multi-tabling is usually better as well, which is cool b/c I usually just play 2 maybe 3. If you aren't allergic to exercise I suggest giving it a try and keeping tabs on your play. And a weirder one that I've noticed that might just be me, is that I seem to play better if I am nicer dressed than if I roll out of bed and start playing in shorts and bed hair. I think it's just a feeling of having it more together that keeps my game together.
