What is your longest session playing live?

Was just wondering, actually, i wanted to see if I am a lunatic.

Played at Borgata once, sat down at a table at about 10AM saturday, left at about 2AM Sunday, 16 straigth hours.

I didn't event eat anything, just ordered coffee and water which increased the bathroom breaks, also took cigarette breaks.

I figure i dont get too many chances to play live since AC is over 2 hours aways, wanted to take full advantage.

I often play 14 hour sessions at Foxwoods; if I'm going to spend a little over 3 hours in round trip commute, I figure I ought to get a good chunk of time in playing.

holy cow, i dont feel so guilty now. But as mentioned above, If i am driving 2 hours to play, i want to make sure i get the most of it.

OK, so now a follow up question, do you go by yourself of with buddies?
The reason i left at 2am is cuz the buddy i was with plays blackjack only so he was done pretty fast, whereas, i was playing 2/4 limit which is alot slower paced than BJ.

Here's my confession, I've actually gone to the casino by myself, only once. Felt weird at first, but also felt good not to have someone you came with waiting for you to finish.

I actually prefer going to play by myself? Do i have serious gamlbing issues?

My longest session is about 23 hours. I don't mind going to play by myself for the same reasons you mentioned.

You only have gambling issues if you are risking money that you can't afford to lose or can't control yourself. Whether you go to the casino alone or not doesn't have anything to do with it.
