50 straight hours... bad for your health

[revots33]

This article made me wonder what the longest continuous online poker session has been for 2+2ers.

My longest session (I only play real poker aka live poker)
was 30 hours straight. Too long...

Ya my friend sent me that news clipping. That [censored] sucks. Worst part was that if he just would have gotten up and left he might still be alive. My longest poker session was about 13 hours. I had smoked through 3 packs of cigarettes and had drank myself sober by the end of the session.

Gigabet has played some *extremely* insane 'shifts.'

I think he's had his account shut down b/c Party was convinced he had to be a bot due to the continuous activity for so long so frequently.

come on.. 30 hours sessions arent htat common?? even on here? oh man i got issues..

[Maddenboy]

i've done 30 twice. Been over 20 maybe ten times.

All in b&m casinos. There is just no reason to play that long on the internet.

One of the 30s was where i got there on Saturday and stayed until after the football games went off on sunday (since they had bigscreen tvs there). One thing just led to another.

The other 30 was in Vegas. At the Mirage. I love the ambiance there. Before that, i thought the thing about Vegas casinos pumping in oxygen to keep you awake was an urban legend. Not anymore.

Its ALWAYS when i'm stuck. How 'bout that? coincidence?

Not really...I usually don't choose to abuse my body that badly when I could quit after say, 12 hrs, with a tidy profit. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

what a nice way to die though eh? maybe he is playing the MMO version of afterlife now.

I can't play for more than 10 hours...my contacts start drying out! LOL

[smartalecc5]

I can play for about 4- 5 hours MAX if Im 4-tabling.

I can't do anything for 50 hours straight.. I'd say my maximum would be a few hours.. but if I was in a big online/live tourney or something then I'd play until I bust.. but under no obligation to continue, over a day is nuts

i've done 30 hours once in atlantic city, 12 hours multiple times there as well.
