Have you ever fallen asleep during a tournament?

Pulse_69 · Feb 8, 2025

I had a funny situation when, after a hard day, I decided to play a tournament late at night, and during a five-minute break, I just fell asleep with my laptop next to me. 😴🥱
After this situation, I don't open tournaments when I'm tired.

I've fallen asleep many times during a tournament... Many times.

Many times, when I played late-night tournaments, even if I was doing well, I lost because of sleep. I think concentration is what is required to win late-night tournaments.

The same situation with the tournament sleeping, but I`m happy when the "dawn"comes before the end of my chips.

It's exactly the same with me. I've played a few times when I was tired, and I also just fell asleep during a 5-minute break. Once I even fell asleep while playing in a tournament with a $5.5 buy-in.

You close your eyes for a second so you can get some rest... And then you remember that you're playing, you jump off, and it's too late...)))

One time in a live tournament I fell asleep for a few seconds.

I've never fallen asleep during a tournament online.
I fell asleep once in a live tournament during a 15-hour tournament, during one of the breaks, but luckily I was woken up when the tournament resumed.

I mean if I didn't play when I'm tired I'd probably never play... but yeah that's good advice,

I've played a 10 hour 8 game and not fallen asleep but I did once fall asleep in a late night

Razz game where I was chip leader, woke up on the ft as short stack 😅👍

Unfortunately, it happened to me quite often.😕.

eberetta1 · Feb 10, 2025

On the second 5 minute break today, I forgot to return to my tournament with an $8 tournament buyin ticket for a $3000 knockout tournament. I hate when I do that.

Seems a number of us suffer from this problem lol, I really should no better than entering games with 100s+ at night, especially when I have work in the morning🤣

I have fallen asleep on top of women during sex.

Falling asleep while playing poker is normal if you are really tired. I used to play up to two days in a row with the help of some stimulants. But sooner or later, you fall asleep, and sometimes without feeling it coming (no pun intended).

Happened to me once. I really beat myself up about that one. If I am playing late at night I will move from couch to kitchen table to desk a couple times in the hour. Drink more water and keep your eye on the prize.

rifflemao · Feb 11, 2025

I was in a SNG once where it seemed like someone was asleep and we were blinding them away. Then they “woke up” short-stacked and started kicking ass lol. I think they ended up winning.

besttest11 · Feb 11, 2025

Yes, Many times.

dreamer13 · Feb 11, 2025

I once fell asleep so badly that I finished 3rd in a tournament and got a ticket for $22.

Anders1616 · Feb 17, 2025

Newer, but now and then I have gone all in to end the game when the clock has passed midnight.

AtiFCOD · Feb 26, 2025

I was a tournament player for about 6 years. I never fell asleep. The game needed continious attention. The longer I had to stay up the better the results were.

Luka22guro · Feb 26, 2025

It happened several times and it’s a pity that these were the most important moments of the game when there were already initial prizes and even more, but this was only when I started my game and had little experience, this does not happen again now because I approach the game schedule more competently.

Ruslan L · Feb 27, 2025

This happens to me at least once a month. And although I don't play tired, but after 2-3 hours of playing, sometimes I can doze off

WrongUsername · Feb 27, 2025

yes cause game is so boring and slow zzzzzzzzzz

pep12343 · Feb 27, 2025

I don't remember a similar situation but I do remember a similar one where I was signed up for a tournament and I fell asleep before it started. losing a large amount of chips when you wake up

Debi · Feb 27, 2025

When I played a lot there were times I had to fight to stay awake but I don't think I ever actually fell asleep.

Stringy · Feb 27, 2025

maybe during the 5 or 6 min break at the hour but never actually in game

Have you ever fallen asleep during a tournament?
