Online poker is tough - period. Downswings and brutal variance are real, and many players struggle to handle them. The key is to reduce stress from factors you can’t control. That’s where Selection Poker comes in.

We give you the information you need to choose the highest EV MTTs online. We also provide tools to manage your sessions before, during, and after you play.

You should focus on one thing only - playing your best A-game poker every time. The more distractions you have, the worse your performance.

Prepare before your session. Select the best MTTs in advance and avoid searching for new tournaments while playing. That’s just another distraction. Use your breaks to relax, reset, and recover after high-pressure spots.

With Selection Poker, you can plan your exact schedule in advance.
We notify you when tournaments start or when late registration is about to close - so all you need to do is register and stay focused on your game.

The biggest mistake is losing focus by doing anything other than playing. Many players start searching for new MTTs during the session, especially when running bad or busting multiple tournaments in a short time. Others get distracted by watching videos or trying to track results in spreadsheets while playing.

Any task that isn’t directly related to your decisions at the table will hurt your performance. A strong session starts with a clear plan. Know what you will play, when you will register, and stick to it. During the session, your only job is to play your A-game.

It depends on how long you can stay focused and play your A-game. Some players can handle 10–12 hour sessions while staying sharp. For others, that would lead to poor decisions and loss of focus. Everyone is different, so you need to understand your own limits.

What matters most is preparation. You should know how long your session can realistically last, including worst-case scenarios - like deep runs in large-field MTTs that can go late into the night or even until morning. Selection Poker helps you prepare by showing the maximum expected duration of your session, so nothing catches you off guard.

You can track everything manually, but it quickly becomes distracting during a session. Writing down results, updating spreadsheets, or switching between tools takes your focus away from the game - especially when multitabling.

With Selection Poker, you can use the Live Grind Panel next to your tables to add buy-ins, re-entries, and cashes with a single click. Everything is tracked automatically and added to your statistics.

You just play, and your results are recorded and ready for analysis after your session.

The best way to handle distractions is to remove them before the session starts. Plan your tournaments in advance so you don’t need to search for new ones while playing. Close anything that is not related to poker and use your breaks to reset, not to add more tasks.

When multitabling, even small distractions add up. Stay locked in, keep your setup clean, and focus only on decisions at the tables.
