Anybody ever fall asleep during a tourney?

[Wolfpack43ACC]

I've done it a few times. One night after a drunken party I decided to fire up 4 $20 SNG's. Completely ran over the tables I was at in the first 10 minutes hitting anything and everything.

Ended up falling asleep only to find the next morning I had finished 2nd, 2nd, & 3rd. Had built such big chip leads I was able to fold my way to 2 HU's and 3 cashes out of 4 SNG's.

 

[DravenUmbra]

Been there, done that...

I fell asleep the other day in the middle of a freeroll on Bodog. Next thing I knew, I was down to 750 in chips with less than half the people left in it, and I went on my own little hot streak, got 200k in chips, then my pocket kings got busted by a tray of tens, leaving me in 26th place.

 

[billyth3kid]

late at night when i decided to play my last sng once... i dont do that n e more if im tired but want to play a few hands ill just go in a 1cent 2 cent cash table now... play 15 -30 hands and be done... not really risking ne thing there like .002% of my bankroll

 

[xyxyxy1986]

Yes, lol but it was freeroll so i didnt lose nothing

 

[Monoxide]

Id rather not fall asleep when im trying to make money!


Cant say ive ever done this, although my cash sessions will streach into 2-3am+ and I get somewhat tired.

 

[mig2169]

Yes i have a goodone, A few years ago i was playing in a bodog freeroll, and i was sitting on about 49k when i fell asleep with my three old daughter in my lap, I woke up with 102k and she was playing, I looked at the hand history and she went all in 12 times in a row winning every hand but one, to a smaller stack. She was just hitting the buttons when the cards came up. I went on to win the tourny.

 

[Ecomdan]

I've come close to it, but usually being so tired makes me play really badly so I always bust myself out before I pass out.

 

[beefcake413]

Different version of this one. I was in a buy in tourney on Bodog and was chip leader with about 150 left (top 36 get paid). Power goes out and by the time I can get back online, I've been blinded out and finished about 10 spots out of the money. Needless to say I was not a very happy man.

 

[wagon596]

I wish I could blame it on falling asleep

I was playing single table SNG and caught a ROYAL FLUSH called my nephew who was playing on same site, different table, to come watch DOH yep being the dumb azz I am,,,I timed out. but if you'll believe me I'll tell you I fell asleep LOL

Take care

 

[AtiFCOD]

It hasnt happened with me so far. I usually study english (I'm hungarian) and watch TV during tournaments.

 

[Tom1559]

Never actually fallen asleep but come close to it a few times. The last time I played live I never played a single hand for over 1 hour. There were some nutters at the table so I just folded everything apart from the top 6 hands. They eventually knocked each other out an I went on to win it. I stayed at the table and if it was not for the fact that I had to fold I would have been sleeping. I did think about sitting out but thought it might just surprise them occassionally.

 

[Grossberger]

I've nodded off a few times. Thank God for that little "your bet" alarm waking me up.

Yea I've dozed off and had that little alarm wake me many a times but someimes its kinda rude to wake me up to fold 2 4 off suit in first position.

 

[woody19]

ye i fell asleep quite a while ago now during a torney was a 10 buyin tho i was up for 16/17 hours before i started playing this torney on ft and it was about 2 hours in to the torney al i remember is i woke up with loads of differnt programs on my computer popping up and loads of lines over my face from the keyboard lol i try to not bother playing torney if i feel even a little tired now just incase lol

 

[herlis]

i have fallen asleep maybe about two times while playing and for sure you will lose that game you slept on but one game i woke up and im still in the game only because i was on top 5 chip leader , i woke up after an hour and a half and the game was still playing and i was sat out and played again and won some money...LOL

Most of the time i fall asleep before the game starts and i never got to play cause most games i play (forum freerolls) are usually played in the early morning hours here thats why most of the times im asleep already.

 

[lcid86]

pokerstars 10pm tourney got me. woke up at 3am and ended up winning it! Fell asleep for about 1/2 hour.

 

[BDDP]

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty!!! And not proud to admit it, but have fallen asleep with a large stack with over a hundred people left and finished well in the money. There's nothing better than waking up to the message on your screen that you've won money and didn't do most of the work for. Plus there's the knowlege that if you play while you're too tired, you can do more harm than good to your own stack and doing nothing at all can be your best play.

 

[LarryT503]

Never fell asleep for a solid hour, but definitely nodded off for 2-3 minutes while playing in a tourrney. Not surprisingly, I usually do something dumb like push a hand too hard too.

 

[icepick007]

well its happened to me a couple of times,when i play late nights in these lengthy freerolls...where 3000+ plus ppl enter

 

[teabagger357]

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.

Yep I have do this same thing after 12 hours or so I just go lay in bed a play from there and I will doze right off sometimes.

 

[WPG_NATIVE]

i remember i fell sleep 1 time during a poker tourney i was about 6 hrs in to like my 3rd tourney and i woke up in time cause i had such a big stack to win the tourney...so remember all u players out there don't fall asleep lol

How Good Are You Baby?
I am so good I can win while I'm asleep. I came home last night, chowed down some pasta and sat in the big comfy recliner and fired up a game on Pokerstars. I fell asleep and woke up and noticed the win in my gmail. As you can see the greedy guy tried to steal the blind of the big stack and was slapped down.

I slimmed down my Pokerstars name to Yogi.

[sharpone]

boy did i

Oh my god have I. I fell asleep in a tourney that had a ten thousand dollar pay off i was so sick bcause i went to sleep the chipleader of the whole tourney. I woke up in a frantic hoping the tourney was still going on when i found out i placed right before the final table for a winning of like 20 dollars and missed out on the thousands i was schedulled to make. My poker luck is changing for the better now.

 

[trucker103]

i fall asleep on the late night ones during the week since i go to work at 3 am so even the 8pm gams are tough to finish sometimes .

 

[lektrikguy]

I fall asleep all the time. Usually for a couple minutes so I don't miss too much. Then I have to go check my hand history to see what I missed.

 

[Justin749]

I used to do it all the time when i was on strong pain medication. I would nod out and then the sound of the buzzer would wake me. i once nodded through almost a whole tourney. woke up before first break. came back to win it
