Default Re: What is your longest session playing live?

I like stopping by 2am, but I will play through the night if my table warrants it. So probably ~15 hours. I try to avoid doing that though, I prefer an afternoon session and an evening session with a reasonable night's sleep.

For the TStoners out there, I sat next to big Paul for two consecutive all-nighters at the same 100NL table. Only he didn't leave the table during the day. And he was still there in the early afternoon of day 3. He left after ~54 hours.

I definitely agree, if things are going good, I am not getting up.

I am curious to see how I hold up next time i play live as i must say that now, my starting hand requirements hand tightened up considerably. I'm sure you guys are used to this but not me as I am still a beginner. (i.e. I am the guy that used to call a pre flop raise wth A5 offsuit) oops

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?

Can't remember the last time (except Vegas) I went with someone else

23 hours+ on four separate occasions. I didn't want to say that I played the WHOLE day.

3 of 4 were winners after being stuck badly. The other I do not care to mention.

30 is my longest. Some other guy at the table who lost track of time said "Are you still here" to a floor. She said "NO, YOU are still here. I've been home, ate, slept and now I'm back [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] "

just this past labor day weekend. 14 hours Friday night, 8 hours off (1.5 round trip home, the rest in sleeeep) 16 Sat night (again, a break) and 14 hours sunday night.

It was fun, but I felt like I'd been stretched thin, like too little butter scraped over bread....

Thursday afternoon (5 p.m.) to Monday night (11 p.m.) on my very first mid-limit experience when I was 19. My Vegas trips usually are about 48 hr sessions.
