Default 50 straight hours... bad for your health

This article made me wonder what the longest continuous online poker session has been for 2+2ers.

Ya my friend sent me that news clipping. That [censored] sucks. Worst part was that if he just would have gotten up and left he might still be alive. My longest poker session was about 13 hours. I had smoked through 3 packs of cigarettes and had drank myself sober by the end of the session.

Gigabet has played some *extremely* insane 'shifts.'

I think he's had his account shut down b/c Party was convinced he had to be a bot due to the continuous activity for so long so frequently.

i've done 30 twice. Been over 20 maybe ten times.

All in b&m casinos. There is just no reason to play that long on the internet.

One of the 30s was where i got there on Saturday and stayed until after the football games went off on sunday (since they had bigscreen tvs there). One thing just led to another.

The other 30 was in Vegas. At the Mirage. I love the ambiance there. Before that, i thought the thing about Vegas casinos pumping in oxygen to keep you awake was an urban legend. Not anymore.

Its ALWAYS when i'm stuck. How 'bout that? coincidence?

Not really...I usually don't choose to abuse my body that badly when I could quit after say, 12 hrs, with a tidy profit. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
