World Record hands in a day

Gee, this sounds like fun. Just a month ago a Russian online poker player known as “innerspy” broke the existing record for most hands played online in a single 24-hour period when he managed to grind through a session that netted him 40,088 hands. The 22-year-old was not able to turn a profit during his session however, which devalued his accomplishment to many players seeing how pretty much anyone could break the record if they were just willing to play long enough.
Turns out it doesn’t matter though, as just five days later an American player with the handle “joeingram1” broke the record again by playing a huge 50,470 hands with stakes at $0.10-$0.25, and turning a profit by the time he logged off. Playing well in the marathon session was good for $800, though his biggest payout was in his side bets where he was given 2.5 – 1 that he could not only just break the record, but end the day with a profit. All in all the side bets paid off an additional $32,950.
The American actually started off the day losing and took 5,000 hands to break even before eventually turning a profit by the end. No one expects this record to stand for very long though, as most of the online poker community has caught wind that joeingram1 was able to accomplish his 50,470 hands in just 21 hours of play. So what’s to stop a group of friends all playing under one account to take 5-hour shifts in a run for the new title? So yeah, expect this one to be smashed by next week.

That's amazing. I wouldn't be able to concentrate on all those tables to make a profit.

unbeleivable how can they stay focused for so long playing so many hands??
After 4 hours i get tired and loose concentration and def. have to stop.

some former ccers were part of the support team....zachvac and i forget the other....

who's to say he didnt get some help making that profit????

I really can't believe he got that much side-action. It was already common knowledge that getting the # of hands in wasn't an issue, so people really thought he was going to lose playing 25nl, lol. The guy is a winner at 1000nl.

He did a good job selling it up though, portraying himself as "at least a 4:1 dog", yet being kind enough to offer 2.5:1 or whatever it was. Well done on that.

This is quite amazing to me. I mean picture you are playing full ring, 30 tables. Then 70 hands/hr and table is quite normal. 30 times 70 is 2100. 2100 times 24 is 50,400.

--Not true. In fact, he pretty much only plays 100NL. Still an edge, but no one would lay even 2.5:1 if it was a 1knl winner.

There is some debate on other poker forums that this record has been broken once again. However, the player concerned claims he played 59k hands in 24 hours, 44k of which were accumulated at 100nl 6m the rest playing $60 turbo sng's. It's the latter that is causing the debate, as some reckon they should not be included in the calculation.

This is PTR after all, but it's still just under an 11k sample size for $1000nl.

Well, for "official" world records, they have someone come in and monitor you -- otherwise its not really creditable.

ha was playing 6 max so 100-120/hr?

Wow that is amazing 21 24 hours of str8 online poker
