Exhausted vs Full of energy.

Just curious to see if there are any out there whom feel you play better poker when you are tired compared to when you are awake.

I find that especially with long sessions, my game is a lot better when I am tired compared to when I feel refreshed. Whilst being tired my decisions remain pretty much the same, and perhaps due to the lack of energy I tend to not be too adventurous making unnecessary plays.

Is it just me or can anyone relate?

I play best first thing in the morning...I find when I'm tired I'm not making the best decisions

Yes, I agree but that is exactly what I am getting at. You wake up all refreshed but then an hour or two into your session you just seem to lose focus, well in my case anyway. But if I start a session really exhausted, I maintain the same playing style for much longer.

Again, this may just be the case with me.

I play much better when I am at my most alert... when I get tired I just start acticing stupid trying to win... I meanif ayone says they play better tired.. that would be a shocker.. As I can see captaind isone of them... to each his own!!

Haha touche

When I am tired I make mistakes in poker too.

all up because if it is a long tournament should not be married. if cash tables, not so much. to me particularly when I'm tired I'm going with speculative hands and always get me the tournament. I prefer to be rested.

lol i play better when i play for real money in freeroll my decisions are not all good
