Don't play poker on an empty stomach, it will cost you lots of money.

This a really good tip one I found out the hard way. Two weekends ago I played a long session on an empty stomach. I was into the game and did feel hungry. I had the worst session of my brief career for several reasons I am sure. One no doubt was lack of nurishment and the resulting fatigue.

This weekend I ate a lunch before playing (the wait list was 1 hr) and then half way through (7hrs) I took a break left the table and ate dinner even though again I was not hungry.

I played the best poker of my life and made much better decisions the entire way through. I have no doubt that my eating and taking a break contributed significantly.

Don't play poker on a full stomach either.....It put all the blood in your stomach and not your brain!

For the same conceptual reason it is not correct to fantasize about the cocktail waitresses :-).

Life is Good :-)

Even better...don't keep playing while you are eating. I have taken advantage of many a player who isn't paying attention to the game because they were more interested in their Turkey sandwich than the flop.

I'll add one more comment to Steve's point. FEAR the player who's eating and then stops to play a hand...a very reliable tell, IMHO. In my experience, players view dinner at the table as a semi time-out. On a marginal call, they'll fold and get back to dinner. But when he puts down the food to get back in the game...he's on a premium hand!
