Just curious what everyones longest and shortest session is at a B&M cardroom.

I will define session as from the time you get the first hand to the time you leave (assuming you only leave the table for breaks where you get to keep your chips there, or move tables).

My longest is sixteen hours, not too long but pretty good considering I've only spent about 200 hours total in a B&M.

My shortest is 2 hours. Was there with friends and they wanted to leave. That's why I don't go with friends anymore.

I don't play very often in B&M. I think my longest session isn't even over 6 hours.

My shortest session ever- 8 hands. I played 6 hands at one table waiting for a seat at a big game. I got called faster than expected, and lost my stack 2 hands in a row. Wasn't in the mood to play after that, and went home.

2 hours.

13 1/2 hours.

I guess that isn't very exciting.

I've played for about 30 hours before, and I have also left after the 1st hand one time when I won like 4K.

longest - 48 hours, not cool
shortest - 1 hand, first hand ever at bellagio, posted bb, called a raise with A9s, flopped nut flush, got multi-way action, took a 15 bb pot, had told gf I would be back to the hotel an hour earlier, so just bailed.

I once played a B&M session of one hand. I was already slightly pissed off when I sat down to take my BB because I had a fight with a floorman at one room and had to drive across town to another room.

My first hand, I get dealt QQ, flop a set, and lose to runner-runner quads when the turn and river come a 5 each and my opponent holds 55. I don't believe in any of that superstitious BS, but I just decided it was time to go.

As for longest, well over 24 hours. Surely because one of my friends wouldn't leave.

Longest session about 12 hours.

Shortest session 1 lap. I posted in the bb in O/8 in a kill pot. Flopped top set, and made the nut full on the river against a turned straight and two smaller full houses, with no low. The player next to me, tells me that I just scooped the biggest pot in the last two hours. Two hands later, some friends show up, and tell me that my wife is waiting for us to go to dinner. I decide to play until the blinds come back around, and make quads/nut low, for the new biggest pot in the last two hours. Then I fold to the big blind, rack up and go to dinner.

The funny thing is, is I don't think I've played O/8 in live games more than about three or four times.

Shortest Session: about 45 minutes.

Longest Session: abou5 45 minutes.

I don't get out much. I've played in a B&M once, in a soft 2/4 game in a shitty casino. Our table broke, I was tired away (we were kinda playing on a whim after a home tournament) so I left. I haven't really had the desire to play live since.

I used the old showmanship trick of leaving on a high note - (think seinfield episode) almost everyone that wasn't in hand laughed as a untucked my tshirt, lifted up the table rail, scooped the chips into the shirt, and left (straight out door didn't even stop at cage)........
