You must rest before you play, because you will not be yourself at game. If you have worked 15 hours rest is needed.

I am a driver, I drive 12 hours a day and this month they extended to 15 hours. I arrive home so tired that I can not play a hand and I finish badly spending my little bank. poker helps me to relax, not to think about the everyday, but this month for not stopping on time knowing that I was not in a position to play attentively to break my bank. now to return from 000 it becomes heavy. What do you recommend?
I will recommend inappropriate things you know what I mean? Pleasure yourself and enjoy life no need for poker to chillax.

Never play when you are tired. You need all your concentration up at full speed. Need I say more when you are losing.

Never play poker with a bad condition: hungry, tired, sick. This will reduce your productivity. I do not know what to say. Try to listen to something during the game. It sometimes helps me.

I would try to play before the day. After sleep. And at freerolls, just 1h 2 times a week. Just to help me relax. But I don't know is hard to put my self in that position.
Other alternative could be small tables in terms of number (6) and in terms of buy in. This way you can finish the table quick

if you're too tired to play, you're too tired to play. DO NOT play anything. Not being on top of your game is like actually driving for 20 hours.... dangerous for you and those around you.

I recommend energy drinks. I spend many time for work and other and play only at weekend nights. I don't know how to play without energy drinks :)
P.S. Burn (classic) is one of my favourite energy drinks ;)

If you are too tired to play poker, then better just not to play poker this day. Take a rest. Watch some movie or show. If you want to win you need to play poker with the clear mind.

Getting rest or sleep instead of playing seems to be a recurring theme, I wonder if the OP has noticed.

When you are tired and do not focus on the game, it's better not to play for money, but just relax or play freerolls, and later when you have free time and are ready for the game then start playing and winning!

playing in your situation is not recommended, I recommend that you play freerolls, so that you learn to deal with fatigue and poker at the same time

I suggest not playing at all if your tired, if you can help it. But if you still feel the urge to play a few hands maybe play at a lower stake they won't affect your roll nearly as much like your regular games may.

Playing freerolls when you're tired is just as bad as playing cash. Don't need to be developing bad habits, when you're tired, that carry over into your cash game.

Sounds like a stupid response, but if you are too tired to play I'd say take a break and get some rest...

With 15hours at work while driving I recommend not to play real money games because you can not be focused and you will get easily tired and bankrupted don't play when you are tired and if you need to play for relaxation use play money or play freerolls

I know what you mean . Poker relaxes me also and I don't play very well when I'm tired . Try to find a site that has on demand freerolls ,ACR has them , I'm not sure who else does . That way , you can always get in a game without risking your bankroll . Save that for a day when you have the time and energy . Good luck .

When you are too tired to play I would recomend not to play. Seriously. Just take a day off. Poker tables won't disappear tomorrow in a moment. It's awful to play in a bad mood or being tired, most likely you won't be able to make the best desicions in the game so chances that your session won't be profitable.

My friend I think we have meet at some Tournaments, so If you drive 12 hours a day and this month 15 hours, just play a maximun of 1 hour then go to bed.
If you sleep for 6 hours it will onlu left you with 2 hour to eat, buy groceries, family etc. It is a very streesfull schedule. Dont play more then 1 hour and maybe wait for sundays or Holidays.

Good Luck, :ciao:
