Hi!!!!

im curious if anyone like myself... has missed some tournamnets becuase you were playing many hours and need it to take a quick nap inorder to get ready for that important tournament you were waiting for many time.??... :S


ive lost a few... but i guess the biggest one was on 888 poker i usually play a lot of FR sats and spend hours trying to get a good prize... normalyl i dont..

few weeks or months i guess... there were some barcelona special something package something... in that sat winners was only 2 people and for miracle or i really dont know how but i managed to get in 2... so i was very excited... i guess it was a $109 ticket for another sat that was for main event ...
soo... one day before i wake up kind of late and played all night long till morning... few hours before tournament... i started to get very tired.. so i took a small nap... oh boy.. pko myself and woke up 1 hour after game started ... its still a date that i havent recover yet for that error...

still date i havent win other tournament like that,,, xD ive been close tho haha still trying

Thanks for reading!! =)

I think it can happen to everyone hence the importance of preparing for a poker session. This allows you to be better organized and to avoid this type of situation.

Pro players are a good example to follow. Personally, I watched a lot of videos about preparing and organizing a game session.

Anything happens, but proper organization of time and self-discipline help to avoid such situations. I hope you will succeed in the future and I wish you the best of luck.

Hi
I play in satellites quite often, and there have been several times when I won a ticket to a tournament, but then I forgot to register and lost the ticket as a result. It's sad, but it also happens.

This should be in vents & rants hehe. You must be pretty disappointed with yourself. At least, learn your lesson. If not, its bound to happen again.

I can honestly say that is never happened to me. I can imagine your disappointment of that happening to you. Have I missed tournaments because I was tired yes, many times but it’s usually a choice that I make not just taking a nap and not waking up.. I do hope you get another opportunity very soon play in that tournament

It happened to me a couple of times and over time I learned that if I am going to play a tournament that requires a lot of playing time, energy, concentration and all that kind of thing, I should organize myself, rest well before playing that tournament, otherwise my level of concentration and energy will be very low and I will not be able to play well or I can even fall asleep in the middle of the tournament or fall asleep and forget the tournament, all this has happened to me and I truly believe that you learn from mistakes

I'm sorry for you. Such cases have never happened to me. Before important events , you should never train a lot . Relaxation and light physical warm-up are the key to success.
