"the Bird Cage is best remembered for the longest poker game in history that was played in the basement of the theater. To play, gamblers had to pay $1,000 up front. The poker game was played continuously for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week from 1881 to 1889, a total of eight years."

Cash (live): Holdem = +- 5 hours.
MTT (online): Holdem = +- 9 1/2 hours .


Hi, cool story, I read it for the 1st time.
Well, personally I had few over 12 hours mtt sessions, it's very unhealthy, avoid it ;)

Id say 25 years give or take a year or two. I remember being a young buck with change at the table with my family. Nothings changed really but the games are bigger now and 1 or 2 are missing but we still have a blast and cookout all the time. Good luck and have fun.

My longest tournament lasted about 7-8 hours. It was a pokerstars tournament. In general, I play an average of 5 hours a day.

I've been playing poker for about 18 years. Averaging 5-8 hours a day a day. Most often sit & go games DON and cash games. I also have some favorite MTT freezout tournaments.

Hello, I'm playing poker just recently, about 7 months, I can say I'm still a newcomer! Poker is entertainment for me or you can say a hobby, so I spend very little time on it, about 2-3 hours a day, and then I play not every day but whenever possible, when there is free time from the main job! I like this game and enjoy playing poker, but at the same time I understand that if you want to achieve something in poker you need to devote a lot of time to it, but I have a basic job and therefore poker is just a hobby for me! I wish everyone good and positive! Good luck at the tables!

I've played poker about 12 years. Mostly freerolls and S&G, rarely some buy-in tournaments. It takes around 4-6 hours per day, sometimes longer.

I have a little more than 8 years playing poker more online than live, but my longest session of the day has been about 15 hours in a day playing online poker and the longest tournament I have played has been around a few 8 hours.

I've been playing poker for 4 years but I stopped for about two years and then I started playing again. It is my passion to play poker because I always use my skills to play in the best way.

I've been playing cards since I was knee high to a grasshopper.

I started playing online about 6 months before.. black Friday! Anyone who's been around since '08 knows my pain.
