What I like to do, is to simply write down on a sheet of paper all the things I need to remember when playing and then I create a strategy which I adjust depending on table.

I make sure I eat before not during, grab a drink to have when I play, also think about what went wrong last session and what I can do differently now to improve.
Then i'll set a time for when I'll stop joining tables (MTTs) and make sure I have no distractions e.g. expecting a parcel or family.

Then I'll forget about everything else and focus only on poker

I used to do it on the paper and in google docs. But then my coach advised me PokerWarmUp.com The idea is to bring technical and mind leaks to the front of your memory before poker session. And then fix them by multiple repetition of what is "right behaviour" and "wrong behaviour". It's also good as cool down from poker to see and learn how my session went, where I tilted, where I made a mistake again and to update my warmup for the next time.

Session timer is just awesome for taking that 15 minute break you promised yourself you would take 2 hours ago ;-)

yea first I do a couple of stretching excercises, as I don't want to pull anything while playing, jerk off, do some yoga to get in touch with mind body and soul then start raking in the benjies

If i need it, i sit there playing one table till i consider my brain is working well enough, then adding another, usually because one tabling isnt enough for me when i have got a line of all the players.

Usually my warmup involves just watching some poker on twitch for an hour or so, then I start with just a couple of tables for about an hour then increase the tables to what I usually play. I do also usually take a look through some hands from my last session

eenvis, so what was your reason for asking? Do you want to share your view on this as well? Or just looking for an advice?

just clean the pipes before each session and if you play long then halfway through that again
