Default 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.

41 hrs, Wynn, Las Vegas. Got unstuck 4 racks in a 15/30 game then blew 4 racks at a 4/8 to "relax."

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?

I've looped the clock (24-hours of straight play) a couple of times. But now I limit myself to 8-10 hours per session. With most falling in the 4-5 hour range.

But a few years ago, I got serious about my game and started tracking my game by the hour as I played. It's pretty simple. You just make a note every hour of where you are. I usually make the note when I take a bathroom break. That's when I noticed I was -EV once I hit 11 hours. At 18-hours or more, I'd have wild swings in my stack that I could only attribute to fatigue.

31 hrs.

Its would have been about 28 hrs but I went on a serious rush at an awesome table full of bad players. I can't leave when things are going so great.

My sleep schedule was messed up for days though.
