Re: Passing out at the table
You know, a friend an I drove from Lancaster, PA to AC in 38 minutes once... It actually took an hour and a half, but every time he tells the story a few minutes drop off. By the time we retire, it's going to be 7 minutes door-to-door.
My point is that bragging about staying power at the table is a macho ego thing that should be taken with a pound of salt (and I'm a guy). It's also really easy to lie about; some people look and smell that bad without a 20 hour run. For what it's worth its also part of the act for some. There was a guy playing one Saturday morning at the Foxwoods 4/8 talking about his 20 hour session, his raging hangover, getting cleaed up at rehab last winter, he just wouldn't shut up. Almost nobody noticed his solid play and steady accumulation of chips.
For myself, I've never made a bad play simply because I haven't been at the table for 12 hours already.
