Have you ever fallen asleep during a tournament?

[fergysteve]

Not quite, but definitely caught myself "long-blinking" a few times. Generally when it's a slow table and people are really pushing the countdowns.

...everyone has been there, so don't play higher buy-ins, just play cheaper tournaments at night.

many times it happens that I fall asleep with the phone in my hand while sitting in bed playing poker

LOL yes, many times. Usually it's just a nap, like just a few minutes (20-30min max), so, I come back still able to play some hands before exit the tournament.

Unfortunately, I have a few times.
Wake up with a start and realising I have been asleep for 15mins or so. Worst is waking up middle of the night with a bad back from sofa. Battery usually ends up dead on those occasions.

A couple of times, luckily the tournaments weren't big buy-in games.

I often fell asleep during the game. especially when I played tired after work or often fell asleep after a few extra beers.

 

[kaynbergo]

This happened a couple of times)) I even won prizes on one of them and woke up when the stack was 4bb, it even doubled a couple of times, but then AA came and I flew out with them)

 

[valanddon]

Yes late at night.

Numerous times 🫣 and as ill luck would have it - usually this happened when I had a big stack, played a lot higher buyin, was doing exceptionally well 😓😄😭🤣

The only thing that makes me fall asleep is when I am on the rails @maronza1 Friday night team league is my victim of this Not very exciting but a little funny

You guys are all very lucky that you're not playing live poker.

If you fall asleep at the live poker table - they will escort you out of the room.

Coffee - Tea - stay awake! lol

Good for you that all the cardschat tournaments are favourable for you, otherwise you could have experienced what we have

in an online tournament, I was playing on my smartphone lying in bed, the tournament took a break (5 minutes), I thought, I'll just close my eyes quickly, it turned out that I only woke up the next morning

 

[10gerka]

Yes it happened to me once, I had forgotten that I had registered for a tournament, I played the first hour and during the 5 minute break I fell asleep because I was tired, it happens sometimes.
