anyone ever successfully played poker tired and still won?
had a rough night last week, couldn’t sleep cause the neighbor’s dog was barking nonstop. still had my weekly online poker game and thought, screw it, i’ll play anyway. felt like i was moving through mud the whole time, couldn’t read anyone and pretty much autopiloted half my hands. managed to scrape out a tiny win just by playing stupid tight and not making any big bluffs, but it felt like pure luck. usually, if i’m not sharp, i get steamrolled at the table. i always hear folks say poker’s all about reading people and being patient, so i don’t know if tired wins are just flukes. kinda makes me wonder if anyone actually plays better with a little less sleep, maybe cause they overthink less or something. has anyone here pulled off a decent win while running on fumes, or is that just asking to lose chips?
