Have you ever slept in between a game you were actually doing great and woken up winning pennies 😁 😁 😁

Never, but mind your schedule then.
I am learning not to play tired.

I have fallen asleep early, when I was supposed to play phase 2 of a phase tournament starting at 8 pm or so. I woke up around 10 pm and logged on to the poker client to check, if I was still in the tournament. I was not. This is definitely F-game, and I have more or less avoided phase tournaments since

At first, I used to play on my phone while lying down, and I’d get sleepy right away—sometimes I’d even doze off. Consequently, I wouldn't play with full concentration and would lose in tournaments. Now, I play sitting up, without distractions and with music playing.

It has happened to me a couple of times, when I play from my cell phone lying in bed, during the 5 minutes of rest, I fell asleep, when I wake up my game is over, and I have entered itm.

Happens more often than not actually, especially when lying down on my phone, thats why i prefer to play on my desktop and a movie playing beside me

😂 Not exactly, but I've definitely stayed up way too late because a tournament was going well. You start thinking it's going to be a huge score, and then a few hours later you bust or end up with a min-cash. Poker has a funny way of keeping your expectations in check.

This happened to me many times, once I won $36, just a little short of a $55 ticket at 888 poker.
