fff

I think when you are tired a freeroll is better.IF you are confused or tired from something else at a freeroll you will not loose your money .I prefer to play freeroll when i am tired ....and i play with up to 20 $ buy in when i have a clear mind .Good luck my friend and keep the roads.

Very hard to play when tired better not playing at all.

The best way do not to play, but u can keep only one-two turnament tables, washing cold water time to time and get final table)

When getting too tired playing poker, I normally would advise to go to work.
In your case however, forget poker and get rested!

Poker is a part time job for me, even though I make more money currently doing it than my real job. I play only live at the casino. This happened to me recently where I was just simply burnt out. I’m having a great run the last week or so, but in order for me to get there I had to play 6-12 hours which sometimes ran into 7:30am. I took a five day break to enjoy some of my winnings with family and friends. Going to eat out and having some drinks to solely relax. Poker is a grind and it’s a never ending game (cash). When I came back five days later, I was fully refreshed and was able to fully focus on the game, the players, and the cards. Good luck

If you're tired don't play poker for real money. Sleep is best.

I play awful when I'm tired. If you can't walk away walk to the coffee pot.

I would not recommend playing it will make you waste your bankroll, it has happened to me and many out there. Be patient and good luck at the tables.

Sometimes I play tired to practice for late stage tournaments.

But it doesn't sound like you enjoy playing tired.

Successful poker is hard ! Get some sleep , get some rest and play and win and enjoy poker !

Good luck !

I sympathize with you. I used to be able to drive that much once in a while, but definitely NOT every day.

My recommendation - put together a strategy with specific rules to follow depending on the situation. Play Zoom at Stars. You can play in bursts for as long or as little as you want. If you feel yourself nodding off, just take a break an go to sleep. Unlike regular cash games there aren't usually the big pauses while people tank to think about what they want to do.

Don't lock yourself in to the timeframe required to play a tournament or a bigger SnG.

 

[oneybiggs]

youve adressed a common problem here,the only real answer falls into the self discipline category i feel,and youre certainly not alone.this will sound sick lol and unhelpful for you,but i have found that if i get past the over tired stage i become quite numb in the brain,and play extremely good poker in a trance like state hehe str8 up,how sick is that?anyone else?lol

If you don't have enough time, don't play poker. The results will be poor. Play only if you have more time. Good luck.

 

[odo333]

Unfortunately, as in work in poker, the head must be rested. This game requires intense thinking

 

[Drhat63]

if it's something you want to improve with results, you have to carve out time for poker, and separate time for rest. End of story. If you are okay with okay results, then practice when exhausted, but you have to know that is not optimal. Good luck!

 

[nyjah0]

don't play when exhausted or if you really wanna play go low stakes

I am a driver, drive 12 hours a day and this month they continue to 15 hours. Come home so tired that I can not play a hand and finish badly to spend his small bank. Poker helps me to relax, not think about everyday, but this month I have not stopped in time, knowing that I am not able to play carefully to break the bank. Now, to return from 000 becomes heavy. What do you recommend?

In such situations like yours should not play poker because it will zagubite.Vapreki if that was the only way to make money despite the fatigue and reluctance to play Dr. need to play I recommend strong coffee and cool shower to clean up thoughts

 

[Deemajor44]

Dang man that is rough well i would recommend either maybe playing with play money or just playing something very small amount or just not at all... I do enjoy playing for fun on global sometimes just play money!

dont play. sleep.

Do what is needed to be done. When we become tired, our mind and body can't function in full capacity. You need to sleep to refresh yourself. That is the simple answer.


However, our body has another system which may be called as emergency system. It is a reserve energy which can be used only when you are too tired but can't do anything to get rid of tiredness at that moment. But it also has limitations. You can't run on that energy longer.

We play poker for fun and recreation and money matters but playing with tired body makes poker (or any other game) boring and unhealthy and generates more tiredness.

If you are tired from daily work but still want to play poker then only way you can do that is by activating your reserve energy. Now question is, how to activate your reserve energy? Just relax somewhere and take a 15 or 20 minutes nap and reserve is activated. All tiredness gone and you will feel the difference.

I think you need to play a freeroll, then you can increase your bankroll and gain experience without losing money.

Hello.
If I feel tired or have a bad mood, I meditate. On average, meditation takes 15-20 minutes a day and it always helps me.
