What is the longest period of time you played poker without a break? How did you feel after that?
I recently played over 12 hours. I was very tired after that and did not play for two days.

I didn't get the exact time, but it was about comparable to your marathon. But due to the fact that I mostly play tournaments, this indicates an excellent result, the final table comes in about 7 hours. But it was a long time ago and yes, I was tired after the marathon, I also rested for a day.

I don't have time to play poker as a form of marathon. Besides, my mind would be destroyed.

I think 12 hours is a standard period for those who play tournaments, 8 to 12 hours is considered reasonable for tournaments Of course there are turbo tournaments that finish in 6 hours, but overall it really is a marathon, you have to take a few days off after an hourly load of tournaments. However, there are players that reach 16 hours which is not very recommended. Try to maintain a balanced life between your hobbies and your work I would say it depends on each one.:cool::)

I played tournaments for several hours but there was always a break every 60 or 120 minutes. And when I played with friends we always took a break every 2 hours.

At most I played eight hours in an online tournament. And after that I felt very exhausted. The desire to play poker was lost for a couple of days as well, but the amount I won encouraged me to keep playing and I soon returned. ;)

In my younger years, when I was in better shape and had more stamina, I'd regularly pull all-nighters in brick-and-mortar casinos, maybe even a few 24-hour stints if the game was exceptionally good and I was winning big.

12 hours? You're crazy! It would be better to work a shift at the factory and would get guaranteed money!))

Which plant is Sanya, The best option is in the field. Because I think 2-4 hours a day, 2-4 times a week is enough for results. Yes, there are long tournaments, but sitting at the table not ready (tired) knowing that the final table will be in 7-12 hours is absurd (no strategy).

Periodically on weekends I play for 10-12 hours. Yes, of course you get tired, but 8 hours of sleep is enough to rest.

I don't remember when I've played this long. Well, I didn't have to spend more than 7 hours playing poker.

Definitely not. 12 hours is to long for me. After 5 hours of play I feel tired and after 6 hours is for me game over.

My longest stint was 8 hours for a tournament that I won, but there was a 5min break every hour.

I've played straight for more than 12 hours, I confess that after a few hours of sleep I started playing again but I couldn't have a good concentration, today I play between 6 to 8 hours a day, there are days when I play less hours. yesterday I only played 1 hour and 30 minutes, I was on a trip

Probably around 10-11 hours with 5 to 8 tables always open. I did that for about a month. Made profit but lost interest for the game for the next 3-4 months. Made me realize it's not going to be my job but my best hobby for sure.

I don't remember exactly, but it was more than 14-15 hours. I was having a great cash game session and didn't even slept that night.
