Food Coma

Are you familiar with the phenomenon known as the post-dinner beak food coma? Well, here's how it goes.

Players focus on their tournament for 6 hours, only having two 10 or 15-minute breaks, then head off for dinner, coming back to elevated blind levels and an apparent lack of oxygen to the brain.

Within 20-30 minutes of cards going back in the air, a large group of players make questionable calls, slide their entire chipstack to a neighbor and find their way to the rail.

Yes, that happened again here tonight in Event 1. We came back with 29 players and lost 8 of them in the first 25 minutes after dinner break.

Trust me, folks, watch this at the next multi-day tourney you go to, and see that at least 15 percent of the field hits the rail before the first level after dinner is finished.
