This ever happen to anyone or something close? (Funny but sad)
Last night I was playing a 100 party MTT that started around 9:20 ET.
Was exhausted and probably should not had started this one but did any ways. Think we started w/ about 320 entrants. When we got to around 50 (bubble was 40), I fell asleep. No really, I friggen nodded out. Think I had around 7K and was above ave. When I woke up I quickly hit the sit in and resumed. I noticed in the chat box that a known poster here (Double Eagle)was trying to chat w/ me, and must have seemed rude. I PM'd him today and we are still good. He did comment on my ultra tight play though. Had around 3.5K left w/ 44 entrants left. A steal go wrong against a SS SB brought me down to 2.2K. Two hands after the bubble burst I push my AK and get crushed by Kc 10c making runner runner flush. This ever happen to any one else? Guess sht like this happens when you hit 40. Pete |

I've done it... I was up for like 3 days straight trying to get enough TLB points to qualify for the Bahamas freeroll and fell asleep at the wheel(or keyboard for that matter).

I've had it happen! Now on the rare occasion when I get sleepy I turn up the speakers on my computer so the sound warning wakes me back up when it is my turn to act! Maybe I shouldn't play when I'm that tired but sometimes the weekends are my only chance to play.

It has happened to me a few times also. The sounds of partypoker can hypnotize you when you are tired. The worst part is that I usually restart another game as soon as I wake up from my nap!

Actually another friend of mine was at your table and IM'd me to tell me so. He was moved by the time I came over to say hello, but also commented that you seemed less frisky than normal....

I came home from a night of drinking. Decided to play a MTT on Pokerroom. I was drunk, so lets just say I was a little bit more aggressive than usual. I tell a friend, "I have to get to 6000 chips before the break, or I am going to bed".
Well, I succeed in the 6K benchmark, but those 5 minute breaks are LOOOOONG. I wake up in the morning to find out that I had finished 21st (20 paid), 200+ runners. One more spot and it would have been my greatest poker accomplishment to date. (Other than running up 25$ to 625$ at a 25max NL table at 4am falling down drunk) |

Sorry to see I'm not the only one.
Perhaps we need a shock treatment device. |

Twice. Once fell asleep in a $100 sng and never woke up. Last week, in a $160 WSOP shootout and was fighting falling asleep. I actually think I nodding off momentarily a few times (like when you're riding a car and wake up as the car swerves a bit). Luckily for me I didn't fall asleep because I won the seat!

Was playing a double shootout for 10 k seat when I fell asleep
about five minutes after it began. My wife woke me up and I was half asleep. Said I was going to bust out quickly or win real fast. No exageration 10 minutes before the first break busted the table, must have raised about 80% of my hands and on last hand beat pocket kings with A2. Bruce |

wow, you're older than I thought.
BTW, I'm always a fan of a good nap. |
