WSOP Training Camp

My WSOP plans are finalized for this year and I'll be playing in a $1k on Sunday June 19th and a $1,500 on June 22nd. Each year I've written a blog post that is more of a mental prep for the trip, but this year I'm thinking about things a little differently. I'm going to treat these next 2 weeks as a "training camp" as if I was an athlete peaking for competition.

So what will be involved in my peaking routine? Here are the skills I need to hone & sharpen:

1. Accurate reading skills and assigning hand ranges
2. Mental & emotional endurance
3. Confidence
4. Acting on my reads

How will I train and peak these skills?

1. Play only Hold'em tournaments
2. Hand history reviews and equity calculations
3. 1/2 hour daily 2+2 forum reviews
4. 1 hour of video reviews
5. Finish 2 additional advanced videos for Pokerology
6. Reduce coffee intake and focus on longer work sessions throughout the day not relying on external energy sources
