Post-Dinner Coma

One important trait that a poker player must possess is stamina, as poker tournaments, especially this one, come with long hours of continual concentration. At this point of the day, a lot of players fall into what is known as a post-dinner coma. Sometimes it is brought on by eating too much food at dinner, sometimes by not eating enough. The post-dinner coma affects not only focus and concentration, but also mood. It will be interesting to see how this affects players this evening.
