The longest pokernight you’ve ever had, how many hours did you play in a single game?? (1 Viewer)

For several years, it was a game at my sister's godparents (best friends of my late parents), which started at 01:00 New Year's day (after the dinner and all) and ended no sooner than 13:00 hours. So 12 hours, on the average, at least.
Winning players would buy late brunch to losing players in a prestigious Athens hotel.
Many years ago...

Edit: Several fathers and college student sons on the table. Common lines among fathers: Why did you have to give that kind of money to your ruthless son to play; he's gonna ruin us all.:)
 
Longest session ever was at Foxwoods. 32 hours split between 1/2 and 2/5. My phone died like 8 hours in and I just grinded. Sun started to come up (you can see it from the windows at the old basement poker room there) and nice cleaning woman hit my foot with her broom. I realized it was going to be a 85 degree sunny perfect day and thought “what the actual fuck am I doing here? I’m up like $90”.

I tried to drive home (90 minutes).

Realized what a horrible idea that was in the first 5 minutes. Turned around and got a hotel room for a few hours.

I’ve had many many sessions at my home game go from noon to 6a the next day. Most meetups are 18-20 hour days. Also a handful of 24 hour stints at casinos.

Cool
 
Had a full-day home game months in the planning, where almost our full crew would be present—had up to 11-12 players squeezed around a dining table w/a topper. Started at 10am-ish, finished at 5am-ish (w/5-6 players left), with breaks for food and stuff, so ~18 hours?
 
Approx 36 hour stretch in Atlantic city, back when I was a noob. Started at the taj 10/20, move to borgata for nl cash and ended in… I don’t even remember what card room, playing small stakes spread limit stud.

A lot of 12-18hour stints in school, in an unused class room over the weekends, with a rotating crew of players. There were 4 or 5 of us who would regularly go start to finish.
 
Had a game a couple of years ago that lasted 18 hours, serious needed a boost of D-vitamin afterwards. Not good for the Health
 
I left work early on Friday. Hit the poker room around 4 PM and left around 6 AM. So 14 hours of play with a profitable night and enjoyable table. I think I've done similar hours at a meetup but from noon to 2 AM.

I think I could get to 16 or 18 hours and still have it be relatively enjoyable. Trying to make 24 hours seems like it would be soul crushing unless I was on some kind of ridiculous heater.
 
The longest that I have played is probably 12'ish hours. That would be dealers choice games at a meet up. Its not uncommon to start around 11 am and play until ????
 
When I was at sea in the Navy, we pulled 6 hour shifts, 3 section rotation....meaning you covered every third shift of the following...0000-0600, 0600-1200, 1200-1800, and 1800-0000. We would play euchre our offgoing rotation for at least the whole 6 hours. We would sleep on the incoming watch, go stand watch, then play again on offgoing. Played for a couple years like that when we were out.

There was no poker allowed. We played mostly euchre with a little bit of spades mixed in for variety. Every now and again, cribbage.

I know it's not a 24 hour stretch, but we played a bunch. Playing cards was the best thing about the Navy.

EDIT to answer the OP question: probably 12 hours.
 
44 hrs!! Amazing man !! To that I Can only reply and I qoute: A Poker player dont gamble - He invest In the outcome of the game
 
Definitely no where as long as some of the other games in this thread, but to celebrate the end of a semester, I hosted what I guess technically qualifies as an MTT with a bunch of friends (rolling deep with those $5-$10 buy-ins). Started sometime after dinner before 8, ended sometime right before sunrise, after 5. I actually did win that one… but at what cost?
 
My 30th birthday at my homegame. Started about 11am, played till sun up (7am?) the next day. Don't wanna remember how much I lost but it was worth it!
 
18 hour stretches at The Taj in Atlantic City when I used to live out there. I loved that resort and poker room. Sad to see it long gone.
 
My longest session was also at Foxwoods, a shade over 34 hours, Friday night to Sunday morning, split between 1/2 and 2/5, probably about 75/25. I paused for bathroom breaks and some noodles upstairs, but that's about it. Felt like I couldn't make a wrong decision that night so I just kept riding it.
 
I think this was 14-16 hour day.
