Poker pro Daniel Negreanu is a regular player at the World Series of Poker (WSOP). But have you ever wondered how this six-time WSOP bracelet winner prepares before playing the biggest poker series? Well, we would all love to know. For now we don’t know how he prepares mentally and strategically, but he has spilled the beans on how he prepares himself physically.
The WSOP events go on for a long time. Sitting and playing from the start till the end (wee hours of the morning) is no walk in the park. As much as the game challenges the players mentally, their physical abilities are also equally challenged, however, it often goes unnoticed.
DNegs recently got on a podcast with Brandon Adams where he revealed how he physically prepares for the WSOP. In the podcast he is seen saying that earlier he used to wake up at 1 or 2 AM just to workout. However, later he realized that it was affecting him negatively.

‘KidPoker’ would get drained due to the lack of sleep. This is when he realized that above all, sleep was the most important. And hence, he tried to go into the WSOP in good shape, knowing that in the following six weeks if he is in a good shape his body can take it. And then he can again get into shape once the WSOP is over.

In the podcast he further adds that not getting sleep has been his number one reason for failure. He also gave an example that if you’re sitting with seven to eight big blinds, and you’ve got a good sleep previously, you’re in the game and prepared to play that strategically. On the other hand, if you’re drained out, you tend to think that you’re tired and you shove it all-in thinking let me go get some sleep.
