Anybody ever fall asleep during a tourney?

[samircyber9]

LOL. I was playing in a FT freeroll this morning after about 9 hours of poker. I started dozing off when I had about 8,000 chips, with about 1200 players left. Next thing I know it's an hour later and I'm still sitting at my computer. I look, and I've still got 1800 chips! So I start playing again. I went on a hot streak I have rarely seen, and in about 15 minutes I'm sitting in 22nd place with 48,000 chips. I wish this story had a better ending, but I pushed with K-10 suited and got knocked out by pocket sixes in 62nd place. So close, yet so far. Oh well.

once I was in a $2.20 hot tournament and I was chipped and it was already 5:30 in the morning and out of nowhere I blacked out because of tiredness and woke up I had already finished the tournament and had dropped to 18 then I was sad with tired because of this tournament that I was fine and fell asleep because of it!

When I reach that state of fatigue in which I know I'm falling asleep, I retire and I'm done with that game ...sit out

 

[danydidi]

Many times .in online poker only ,on table poker never

I had a lot of experience falling asleep especially during the night time play

Sometimes it happens when I play a little drunk

Talking during the game is evil.

Once I played a $3.25 satellite into the $27 MTT ACR used to have. That was around 5pm. I ended up winning a seat. I had worked that day from 7am to 3pm and was really exhausted. I emailed them asking if I could unregister and play the following day (9pm) but they refused. So I got a cup of strong coffee and decided to play anyway. That was definitely the weirdest tourney I have ever played in my life. I was literally sleeping on and off without knowing for how long at a time, just kept going whenever I woke up till I found myself in the final table during which I dozed off a couple of times, but I woke up once and I was heads up, dominated by 5 or 6 to 1 but somehow managed to win ($1.265). Go figure !

Luckily it never happened to me. I had some deep runs in tournaments while playing through the night but somehow I never wa tired during the game. But after finishing I immediately fell asleep when everything was over

 

[Cooking]

Yes, it already happened to me too. But it only happened when I was playing freerolls, so, at least I didn't lose any money.

I have fallen asleep grinding $2 MTT or Freeroll when it was late. The last one was MTT froze for 30 minutes, so I went to bed with about 18 left and had above-average stack.

sleep

Yes i have fallen also a sleep several times online. I've even fallen a sleep playing live.

When everything goes well for me in a tournament, I always fall asleep.

 

[Ianmacca99]

Yeah happened a few times to me in the early hours once I was chip leading a small stakes $1 tournament and had an insane chip lead with about 30 left.
I fell asleep and when I woke up I had been blinded out and still finished 4th

 

[Subel007]

Never

 

[samircyber9]

i guess most of you guys do fall a sleep so its not just me , now i feel better

Played from 12 to 6am in the morning once in a tournament. Finished second. That was at the limit of tiredness and concentration. You really have to be sharp to contest for the entirety. Easier said than done tho. I find long tournaments sophoriphic at the best of times.

I would like to be able to say that it has never happened to me but unfortunately I have had it a few times where the tournament lasted all night and I just fell asleep. It hasn't happened very often but I think it was at least 2 or 3 times. And it was a long time ago, but 2 of the 3 that I remember still got quite far and was on the ft. I was annoyed that I fell asleep, but then tell myself that at least I didn't make any wrong decisions. now I try to avoid it by not playing as often at night especially when I don't feel well enough to see it through to the morning. And that sounds easy, but when you consider that most tournaments usually last 8 to 9 hours, it gets a little more difficult again. Although I play a lot less poker these days than I used to, it still happens every now and then that I sit in a tournament all night, but I haven't fallen asleep doing it, at least not until now

It has never happened to me that I fell asleep in an online poker tournament, but what did happen to me is that sometimes I have the habit of buying a ticket for a tournament several hours in advance, and once I bought the ticket and forgot to play it, I do not know what happened to me but then I realized when I was already eliminated, are things that happen and remain as anecdotes to tell, but it is the only thing that happened to me.

 

[TerryBLE]

Yes, at partypoker I registered in one that started very late, Blinds 12m... Woke up in the same situation as you :stoned:

 

[mariale_1990]

haha that has happened to me many times, many times I woke up when I had already been eliminated, but once I fell asleep for a long time, but at that time I had a lot of chips and when I woke up I was already close to the final table, I managed to reach the table final and I won the tournament, I think it was something epic for me, at least at that time when my game was not as good as it is now

 

[lcid86]

At least once a week in the cc freerolls!

 

[Alizona]

Yes absolutely I do, sometimes I'm so tired I'm lying in bed with my eyes closed and my laptop by my side so I hopefully wake up when the "its your turn, stupid!!" buzzer goes off.

Of course, then there are the nights where I'm tired AND drunk, I had one of these a few nights ago and when I groggily awoke from my stupor, I realized I had missed the buzzer, the poker site sat me out, and then I blinded out from the tournament and the poker table had closed. LOL Oh well, gg. Sorry for delaying the game when I timed out.

 

[infonazar]

I fell asleep several times during the break. Once while playing in a $ 55 buy-in tournament and it was sad. But after that, this did not happen again.

1 time. I nodded off and when I woke up I was pretty low on chips. I decided to bomb some pots and either chip up or bomb out. Hit a couple of pots and chipped up some but ended up bombing out. Shut down and went to bed.
