Have you ever fallen asleep playing online poker?

[doom]

At least 1 in month it happens to me 🤣

 

[alucaa]

Sometimes playing freerols on PokerStars at midnight hahahaha

A few times. Definitely tried to prevent it, but hard when you have a full time job and a poker career haha 😏

Several times, I was there very tired, in the middle of the grind, I would grab and drag the bed next to the computer table and after a few minutes I would end up falling asleep, when I woke up my screens had all disappeared. lol nowadays I don't do that anymore, when I'm very tired and go to sleep I don't register for any tournament.

 

[oriole]

Yeah, a couple of late-night sessions got me dozing off, but I’ve learned to take breaks now to stay sharp.

 

[dreamer13]

I fell asleep more than once, this is because I play in a lying position, there is a mobile table on the side of the sofa, which can be adjusted in height, convenient for poker.

 

[john_entony]

No, I didn't have that. I'm always focused on poker. I can only say that because I play poker at night, I've gotten a lot less of my sleep. But my priority is money, not rest, so I can't complain about lack of sleep.

 

[RonanPERNA]

Over and over again, I've even lost count.

 

[fundiver199]

Yes but I think, it has only happened once, and these days I avoid playing slow tournaments in the evening.

 

[dzsire]

Of course, but it wasn't that important a tournament. It was more about not being there when the tournament started because I fell asleep before it started, which is obviously better than falling asleep while playing.

 

[martDdart]

About ten times I have fallen asleep,one time the alert that it was my turn to play woke me up and I saw my pocket rockets get folded before I had time to react , I woke up in to a real nightmare.

 

[Manjerica1]

I did that once but wasn't really happy afterwards, eventhough I got into ITM in a tournament ... I felt bad... felt tired and a fishy hahahah

 

[gravii2011]

I fell asleep more than once when I was playing while lying down on my phone. But never when playing on the computer.

 

[MishkaZL]

I have a simple rule. If I'm tired or if I want to sleep, I don't start the game. For me, poker is fun and it's quite unusual to force yourself to have fun when you want to sleep. Although, of course, I, like most of us, also fell asleep during the game

 

[Silentlivep1]

Over and over again 😭

 

[R.Melnyk77]

I have also fallen asleep a few times while playing in a tournament. Sometimes I play late at night and I'm really sleepy, in such cases it helps when I go to wash my face with cold water during the break. It invigorates me for a while. But there are moments when I just can't stand it, close the table, switch off the PC and just go to sleep.

 

[valanddon]

Yes I have a few times. You wake up with the table you were playing on not there anymore.

 

[valeski 28]

That happened to me many times when I used to play on PokerStars but fortunately only in freerolls

 

[R.Holynskyi]

If I play sitting in a chair, I don't fall asleep. If I play lying down, I'm usually out of it after a 5-minute break, so I almost always don't allow myself to lie down.

 

[edenman1]

Many times! Often late at night when I know I have enough chips to make the $

 

[infonazar]

Yes, of course I've had cases when I got tired and fell asleep during a tournament, or rather during a break. But now, if I feel too tired, I just don't start the game. There's no point in forcing yourself to play.

 

[armoko]

A lot of times, I went pretty far in a tournament, and once it was really late and I had to get up early for work the next day. So I fell asleep, and the next day I realized that I had reached the ITM and won about $150

 

[successlaw]

Yes , I did but not for so long. Usually 5-6 mins during breaks

 

[Lena M]

Several times, when I realised I was falling asleep, I just stopped playing and went to bed. I don't remember a case when I fell asleep during a game.

 

[Mig32]

know that you were not the only one kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
whoever has never slept in a tournament, throw the first stone hahahahaah

Yep, guilty! Most of my poker happens on mobile these days. It’s like having a mini casino in my pocket—dangerous, I know! Quick hands on the sofa, in bed, or even ahem during bathroom breaks. Don’t judge, it’s efficient!
