    I played a hand of limit holdem in my sleep -- and won

    I am not talking about playing in a dream.

    I mean I actually played out almost a full hand of $30/$60 limit holdem on Bovada without being fully conscious.

    A few days ago, I was really tired and shouldn't have been playing anymore, but I was. I kept dozing off in between hands but was somehow waking up without missing any hands despite the sound being off. That's the other weird thing, as I woke up a ton of times when the action was on me preflop. Not sure how I knew how to do that.

    But that's not the story.

    I woke up to find myself with 66.

    But the 66 wasn't preflop. It was on the river.

    The board was JT532 without a flush possible.

    It was me versus the small blind, who had checked to me.

    I had zero memory of the earlier streets of this hand. I must have been in a half-asleep state where I could see the screen and manipulate the controls, but not capable of conscious thought.

    So how did I get there?

    I quickly worked out from the pot size that I must have raised pre, gotten one call from the SB, and then bet every street up until the river when I awoke.

    Then I had to figure out what to do. I reasoned that no raise from the SB at any point meant that my 66 was likely good, so I bet. I felt really weird betting a hand where I had no memory of the actual action, and rather just a reconstruction which was possibly incorrect.

    I bet, and the SB folded.



    So weird though. I quit on the next blind. I wonder if I was just mashing buttons in my half-asleep state, or if I have played so many LHE hands that I can actually make correct decisions while not fully conscious.

    Gambling is worse than drugs, Dan. It's time you got some help. What you are doing with your life has a negative impact on the world. Try to be more like me, awesome and Christian.

    That's how the guy makes his living. If he didn't play poker, this forum wouldn't be here and none of us would know how awesome you are.

    It's too bad that your father isn't a more responsible human being, look at how you turned out.

    Any person such as yourself had to have been raised by a morally negligent asshole. Or he realized the hand he was dealt early and promptly stopped caring.

    Your existence has probably led to adultery, drugs or worse.

    Looks who's talking. It's pretty obvious you're trying really hard to be this bad.

    I mean, I understand a lot of guys need some kind of schtick to stand out & be memorable but don't expect to be taken seriously when you feel you really do have something serious to add.

    You and Tyde must share some really sweet parental hustling stories.

    And even on his worse day Druff is a better poker player than you will ever be.

    Respectfully disagree, his parents probably giving him money because he orally serviced his uncles.
    Anally too probably.
