amazing. well, not really considering the author. i'm working on a site dealing with Optimum Poker Play and among many non-poker "chapters" is focus (through various binaurul, hemispherical balancing, hypnosis) AND your physical wellness which includes the very things you raise. anyone remember what the 2006 WSOP winner Jaime Gold was doing as he won $12 million dollars? EATING BLUEBERRIES. what you didn't see was his carrot juice and power bars... then there's exercise... great blog girl..

Well said. Always carry energy bars and chocolate bars to a tournament. Drink water so the caffine does not dehydrate you. If possible bring your own food, high protein stuff. Beats the carbs at the restaurants During the tournament get up and walk around a bit. Isometrics at the table helps too. Get enough sleep and don't drink alcohol or do the leaf.
