Some nights i'm only available to play poker late at night however I keep falling asleep and wasting my money. Is there any tips you use to stay awake to play poker late at night?

    +1 When not playing has a better expectation than playing it should be an easy choice

    ... If you do find yourself in that situation though (e.g. feel tired part way through a deepstack MTT)

    You need to properly wake yourself up - sitting comfy in bed is a recipe for disaster.

    Sit up in an uncomfy chair.

    Go outside and get some fresh air if you can.

    Get yourself "pumped up" brisk walk around the room - slap face etc.

    If you are only in one MTT, find something else to do while you are not having to make a hand decision.

    Powernap - set your alarm for 10 minutes and take a snooze during a break - as long as blinds aren't too high!

    Caffeine in coffee or energy drink might help - but do you really want to be on the ceiling when and if you bust out!

    I find that when I'm really tired, I see a lot more flushes and straights in my hand! Sometimes I have to use my fingers to make sure 4,5,6,7,8 is actually five cards. So yeah, the short answer is: go to bed. Either play your poker when you're awake, or don't play at all! :)

    Play cash games instead... that way unless you fall asleep in the middle of a hand it ain't going to cost you any money!!!
