does anyone dream of poker?


Recommended Posts

I had a dream I was playing in a big online tournament, got like 3rd, won over 20k and when I woke up I really thought it had happened. Then I had a weird dream where I had a basketball game at night but I was at the final table of a big live tourney, so I played in it for a couple hours, left for a couple hours for the game and came back to a smaller stack after losing my blinds and ended up getting like 4th, is it weird that I never win the big tournaments in my dreams?

I know why I dream of poker.Last night I was watching Celebrity Poker (yes, I know it is lame, but it is better than nothing) and I fell asleep on the couch. I deamt of poker. Nothing exciting, just cards, etc. (Befpre watching TV I played about an hour or two online)Night before, same thing with the WPT.Night before that, I came home after playing poker on league, watched the $10.00 Negreanu Open on Pokerstars, then went to bed. Tonight, I am playing in a home game. There is nothing else going on in my life so of course, the only thing to dream about would be poker. I am so lame.

We try to play live every sunday night with as many people as we can get together (usually just three of us.. meh)... and i find that i dream about my bad beats all sunday night... it's frustrating, those are the hands that i'm trying to forget... i've also dreamt that we're playing and when the deal comes to me, i wake myself up... after losing money to the guys all i want to do is sleep dammit....

I'm pretty sure I've told this one before, but one time (I guess I was dreaming about poker, dont know) I woke up with to my alarm clock and threw my arm across the bed and tapped the snooze button and said "check". My wife told me she was taking away my computer after that one .lol

The truth is, i dont' really dream of specific things...it's just cards, or sitting at the computer...kind of weird, but it's not like i'm in a poker room or hit my royal flush..
I'm the same way. I have dreams of mowing the lawn or doing homework. Does morning wood make me different?

If I have been playing alot, I dream of different flops and I count how many odds I have......over and over....and wake up not fully rested......
This is exactly what I was trying to say. Nice to know that I'm not the only one out there.

weirdest thing seeing this post..... i dreamt the other night that im at a table in a tourney and im doing fairly well when we have to consolidate tables and now im sitting infront of danny (i think it has alot to with with reading this forum everyday at work) across from lederer, annie duke and helmuth. and i remember thinking to myself, "crap! i guess that makes me dead money." and i remember turning to danny and saying, "your the last person i want to be acting before today." then i remember the pros kinda poking fun at me. joking but still being very nice and i eventually bust out and am congradulated by danny and the other pros for actually playing very well. strange huh? anyway i thought it was kinda funny. i woke up told my girlfriend and she said i was crazy!

Ha, I was going to mention that until I saw your follow-up. Nice work. I have it on DVD, probably could quote it like one of my favorite movies. It's a disease...

A couple of weeks ago, I had a dream where I gave the guy at the registration desk a fake rolex as an entry fee to the WSOP. I figured, well, I'm gonna win the thing anyway, so when they find out it's fake, I'll just give them the real $10K out of my winnings.So, oddly enough, when I'm seated at my initial table, the other players there are all the guys from my regular home game. And they bust me on like one of the first hands.Now I'm thinking, "Where the hell am I going to get the $10K to pay for this when they discover the rolex was fake?"Then I woke up...No idea what that means... :roll:

My GF once told me that she came into our bedroom while I was asleep but she thought I was awake and she asked me something or other...And I replied with "table talk" I can't remember exactly what she said I said...but something along the lines of... "What are you smiling about I know you don't have a hand..."or something like that...I'm generally the type that doesn't remember his dreams... but apparently I do indeed dream about playing poker.I mean... you figure anyone that regularly participates in this forum is like me in the sense that poker dominates a LOT of your time...reading about it, playing it, thinking about it, day dreaming etc.so it only makes sense that we dream about it too...

i dream about poker all the time. it ranges from replaying hands in my dream to playing in places that i have never even heard of with people i have never even seen. it's amazing how the mind can build this complex scenario and it can seem so real. q

I've only had one poker dream:I start out playing in a NL hold em tournament in Austin, TX. I'm playing along for a while...the flops take what seems like an eternity...I grab chips from the center and pull them towards me every now-and-then. I look around a lot...What's that?...An elephant has just walked into the bar wearing a pink cape with Napoleon sitting atop drinking from a bottle of scotch.I continue to play hand after hand, it seems as though I'm getting dealt the same 8 3 offsuit every time, or maybe my dream just keeps rewinding...let me ask the dealer if I'm dreaming...oh my goodness, it's my 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Wright. Wow, she hasn't aged in 16 years. Strange, hmmm, now I don't want to talk to her because I was a "problem child", and I don't want her to know I'm here.There is a tennis game going on in the corner of the bar, complete with mercury vapor lights and all. John McEnroe is the referee. Oh wow, A-A suited! Wha??? Suited??? I guess this improves my odds... I look around and now I'm at my girlfriends house playing online.6 4 offsuit!? WTF??? NOOO! Go back to Ausin!! I had AA suited...Dang. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep...oh crap, it's the fire alarm in the house...I'd better get out of here. Oh...there's my girl...why isn't she panicking??? Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep..."JFarrell, turn it off already...""Let me finish this hand then I'll hurry and get out of here before we burn...""Turn it off! It's annoying!""Calm down, I'll turn off the computer after this hand!""Turn it off!!!"<I shoot out of bed and realize she's yelling at me to turn off the alarm>
