I mostly play at night and micro stakes MTTs take too long cuz of insane entries so I just participate in MMTs which ends in max 3 hours like those hypers in gg poker

Yes, I've nodded off while playing poker...what is worse, I have caught myself nodding off behind the wheel at a red light.

No, there has never been such a thing yet, and I hope there never will be.

Yes, many times. But I prefer to call it, "Resting my eyes".

No, never online.
It was live when I fell asleep after 10+ hours of playing during one of the 15 minute breaks, and they woke me up saying there was a sequel.

its hard to pick the right tournament to match my stamina at that particular time....once played and won a 12 hour online tourney, followed it up with 2nd in an 8 hour tourney....hard to predict how long tourneys gonna last especially with low buy ins....no shame in nodding off for a bit.

It's true, I was going to comment that it had never happened to me, but recently it did happen in a free tournament, which gave 7 entries of 22 USD, when I woke up it was already the final table and I had fallen short in chips compared to the other 9 players, in the end I ended up losing 8, it was very ugly D:

on Live poker never, however I had 2 episodes last month where I was at 1 FT and slept, another semi ft and slept as well.. hahaha In my defense, I work very early, get back at noon, sleep for an hour or so and start my grind/studying session. In those specific ones, I didn't do my afternoon rest and then hahahaha

The older I get the more I do this. I wish I had the stamina I used to have when I could stay up all night playing poker. I'm always falling asleep on the break.

Ever, however to mitigate that happening I always try to play poker when not tired, almost imperceptible to play well when one is fatigued.

It hasn't happened to me. I try to get enough rest before playing. What has happened to me is that I sign up for a tournament and fall asleep before playing
