What is the condition of your game? What's your condition? Your answers to each of those questions were probably similar. There's a simple reason for that and it boils down to one of the key factors of poker.
Psychology. Poker is a deeply psychological game. Not only in the art of bluffing and deception but also in the fact that your attitude is of supreme importance. Keeping positive is the key to winning poker, staying on your game when it gets tough instead of losing it and going on tilt.
Being in a foul mood can upset your game. If you are down or angry or upset, you have a greater chance of going on tilt. You also won't be able to muster up the attitude and confidence to bluff. You need to keep your psychological edge if you're planning on winning some poker. Don't play when you're down in the dumps. It's a surefire way to lose.
Your health affects your attitude. When you're healthy, you feel good about yourself, and when you feel good about yourself, you have confidence. Confidence helps you bluff.
While poker is not a physical game, you should still try to stay in decent shape - you won't get sick and miss chances to play poker.
Your well being directly affects your game. If you're happy and in good health, you will play better.
