NL ring game buy in accumulation question. (Low content)

My guess is that somehow you accidently got into a play money game, I can't imagine any other way for that to happen. Either you accidently chose it or Party had a glitch and sent you to play money when you chose real money.

I'm probably wrong but that is my reasonable, logical, educated guess.

I woulden't be surprised if this were a glitch. At turning stone casino, they have a 100 max 1-2NL game that I play frequently, and it often spreads to 3 tables, with two being must-move to the main table. It's not uncommon to see a couple people with 300-500 at the main table, and the chip leader can build to 600+ with solid play and some luck, since the main table gets fed new blood from the other tables all night. When somone busts, instead of buying in for 100, often a new player will come in with several hundred that they brought from one of the other tables. So my point is that this is a game where building a huge stack is very possible, because there are generally many, many buy-ins on the table.

I know the guy who holds the record cashout at that game, a little over $1,600, but that's still only 16 buy ins, and to get it he had to clean out a player with $600 in one hand. Granted, this game is a lot tougher than a 25 buy in party game, but you get my point.

Fourty buy-ins is just absurd, it seems as though something is wrong. But hey, it's partypoker, and weird things happen there every day. Ya never know.

Why couldn't he have just been there for an obscene amount of time. What if 4 guys just rotated and kept playing the table for days... is that unreasonable?

That is quite possible as well. Heck, it could be just him, the same Turning Stone player I mentioned before sat at the same game for 50 straight hours last time i was there. Same seat for two days straight.

About a month ago I was watching a room at Party NL100 and one guy had $2800. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see him play because he was being delt out before he left. Another player said that the guy had been up even more earlier.
