anyone notice poker tables get way softer late at night

always feel like the night crowd at the tables is a whole different breed. maybe it’s folks coming off a late shift or just people playing for fun before bed, but i keep seeing way looser play and wild bluffs when it’s after midnight. i started tracking my results over different times, just for kicks, and i’m definitely running up more on late sessions. the weird thing is, i notice there’s less tanking and more snap decisions too, sometimes it just feels like they’re not even thinking about pot odds or position.

on the other hand, the swings can get nuts, probably because half the table wants to gamble it up and catch a heater. makes me a little nervous going in with my usual strategy, but at the same time, softer tables are hard to pass up. curious if others see the same thing or if i just hit some lucky runs. my sleep schedule is all over the place anyway so i don’t mind chasing the softer games, but i wonder if i’m missing something about the late-night dynamic.

Late tables are softer, yeah, but crypto casinos fake that vibe with tiny pools and sleepy recs. Not the same thing 🙂

Roulette at 1am is the same fake soft crap lol, just fewer bodies and more sleepy punts. I trust a busy late live table way more, lmao

Yeah late night texas hold’em gets way looser, but i screwed this up for months thinking “softer” meant blast off wider myself lol. Nah, just value bet the hell out of them and stop hero calling the river half asleep, i still catch myself doing that under the gun and it’s pure spew lmao

"under the gun half asleep" is exactly when roulette starts looking smart. I've seen more punts from tired guys than from any loose table.

Honestly my first dumb thought is it’s the promo crowd, not the moon lolll, every room that runs a midnight-to-2am high hand or splash pot gets waaay more randoms punting because they’re chasing the extra $200, not playing clean. That’s the soft part.
