When you step into the live-room of a poker tournament, one fashion accessory that you will commonly see with poker players is backpacks. Irrespective of the country the player belongs to or their age, the chances of them toting a backpack are high.
Now, before you start thinking that pros use a backpack to carry cash, hold your thoughts! The backpack comprises essential resources that poker players need over a gruelling 14-hour day on the felt.
So, if you are going to play a poker tournament, take a look at the following essentials that you must carry in your backpack:
Water
You don’t want to have a headache because of dehydration. That’s not fun. And even though it is obvious that you have cocktail waitresses all around ready to take your order, there are some important benefits of why you should carry water for yourself.
First, you don’t need to get distracted trying to find a waitress who can bring you something as basic as water. Second, you don’t need to wait because you can simply drink from your bottle when you’re thirsty.
Hoodie or Sweatshirt
The temperature inside most poker rooms is low. And if you can’t tolerate the cold, it is a good idea to carry a hoodie or sweatshirt. You don’t want to lose your focus because you are feeling cold throughout the tournament.
Headphones
Headphones are one of the most common devices used by poker players. This is because it keeps them away from all the noise that is being created otherwise at the event – the clicks and clacks of poker chips, the chatterboxes at the table, the background music, buzzing sounds, and more.
A good pair of headphones is probably the most crucial investment for a poker player. A common rookie mistake is to carry only one pair of headphones. What if the Bluetooth battery dies or you accidentally forget the headphones in your hotel room? You must always put a backup for an emergency.
Medicines
This varies from one individual to another but it is recommended that you keep basic medicines for headache, cold, backache, stiff neck, etc. Most casinos have fluorescent lighting and as you spend a few hours focusing on the opponents under those bright lights, a tension headache is obvious. Additionally, sitting upright on those chairs can give you backache or a stiff neck and you wouldn’t like to get frustrated in the game because of body aches or discomfort.
Portable Charger/Charging Cables
If you’re carrying a smartphone or a tablet to the table, you need a portable charger to sustain your batteries throughout the day. A few casinos have updated their tables and installed built-in charging stations underneath every seat but you can’t take a chance. Sometimes, players don’t get wall outlets because there are so many others waiting in the queue. In other cases, players have a charging station underneath their seat but they are not carrying their charging cables. So, to remain on the safe side, carry the essentials in your backpack.
Hand Sanitizer
This one is completely your choice. As you move around the casino or poker room, you touch several things and in case your hand gets in contact with something filthy, you don’t want to run around finding a washroom to simply wash your hands. A small bottle of sanitizer and some tissues can do the needful.
Use this step-by-step guide to ready your backpack and you’ll have everything you need for your next poker tournament. You can also add other items such as a reading book (non-poker strategy), or some snacks. Having everything with you saves time and eliminates the chances of interruption and distraction as you play a big poker tournament.
