"Well if this 27 wins this 3-way al in ok then let this be a sign for me to stay :D"

Only get tired when it goes against me...

When you get a fair amount of well-timed cards, not getting dealt 28O, 29O, etc, it keeps you in the game mentally. The mental spark is enough to overcome the physical boredom.
But any variance, against you, the walls come tumbling down.
With no interesting cards, I suddenly remember it's been hours since I've eaten, drank anything substantial.
One hour of constant play, I'm hanging tough, win or lose. After 1 hour, I'm looking for any excuse to shut it down, especially if I'm playing cash, not an MTT.

Hi Minelli. Yes I get tired when I play long lasting MTTs. I've played some that had 2 hours LR and then the game starts with many players to get by. That's why I play cash mostly.

When I play it doesn't usually happen to me, what I do is rest two days from playing or one and that always keeps me with the same enthusiasm and energy for the days I play, in case that happens to me when I play I put moved music, something wake me up:jd4::jd4::jd4::jd4:

The more tables you play, the faster you will get tired. You can sit at one for quite a long time, and you may not notice it. I played the maximum amount of time for about 11 hours at one table without interruptions in the cash game.

Yeah I have fallen asleep during games several times, once during the Sunday million. I woke up after about 15 minutes and I was doing pretty good so it was ok but I remember jumping when I woke up!!!

it's like any other activity, after a while it inevitably becomes boring and then I take a break, longer or shorter, it depends on many factors

Working and bosses tire me out a lot more. Poker is a kind of holiday.

I play poker well when I'm excited to play, and the truth is that you won't achieve good results if you are not physically prepared, have the desire and a stable mood state to play, as well as enough time, especially in the big and slow tournaments.
But if you feel tired or bored, I do not advise you to play especially with money;)

Getting tired of playing is a very natural thing to happen. This is why I try not to play when I am not 100% ready to play a session. If I am tired I could play a small game but try to avoid anything that I would be to tired to not play my best game. Its not worth the mistakes playing to tired as all you will do is lose your buy in.
