Longest SNG

What is the longest SNG you have played online?

mine was a $10+1 on stars tonight that lasted 185 hands and about 1 hour 45 minutes!! I was chip leader most of the game but ended up finishing 3rd, hell of a way to make $7!

Sounds like everyone forgot to change gears when it became short handed play.

It just took me 48 minutes to bust out. I had things to do and got so tired of the slow play (people were basically trading chips making bad plays and taking forever) that I started going all-in with any A or K hoping to either end it or lose.

Mine was about 1 hour 35 minutes, but was worth the time.

Yeah, the $10 Stars SNGs can be brutally long. The worst is playing heads-up for 45 minutes starting w/ ~7000 chips each and blinds 100/200.

Oh yeah... the stud/8 ones can be brutally long. Usually pretty common to be at 1000/2000 limits at the end, and in one particular one we managed to barely make it to 2000/4000 limits. Pretty funny when one raise on 3rd street committs you to the hand.

I haven't timed any of mine, but I've played a few UB SnG's that went 200+ hands.

Any SNG where "eighttabler" is playing. It's miserable.

Have any of you noticed a trend toward players who intentionally play slow to induce tilt? I mean really slow, using their full time on every street. I thought I noticed it a few weeks ago but it hasn't been a problem lately. To combat it I usually start another game because it's far less irritating when multitabling. I've never gone more than 1:15.
