For me, I play between 4 and 6 hours.
But it depends on the goal I want to play.
There are times when I don't play anything in a day.

Hi.
My longest tournament lasted about 7 hours. After that, the game was suspended and resumed on the second day.

I don't actually keep any records on how long I play, I have started playing some days at 10.00 am. and gone all day only stopping to make a coffee or Sandwich, finishing the day with a Cardschat freeroll, which starts here in the UK. at around 8.00 pm.
In a Live Tournament I played in a Casino I started playing at 12.00 noon and finished on the Final table, taking 2nd place at around 9.00 pm. but the travelling time to and from the Casino added another 4 hours onto my day.
Keeping my mind on the game for so long is Mentally taxing but, being a Retired Taxi Driver Long hours have never been a problem for me, My longest unbroken day driving was 28 hours straight, Dangerous? Quite possibly, but not illegal. I have known other Drivers to do longer Stints.

I usually play less than I would like - it’s a disgusting feeling when you play for no more than an hour, and there are 1-2 tournaments left from your load :D:D

My longest live tournament was last spring in Manchester, New Hampshire. The tournament began at 1:00pm and I was knocked out in 5th place right around 10:30pm, so that was over nine hours total time for the tourney. Actual playing time would have been eight hours or so.

In one sitting it was about 14 hours online with only those 5min breaks that you get once every 1 hour in tournaments. Just enough time to piss, grab a drink, stretch your legs a bit and continue. Live I believe it was about 5 hours max tho.

In live poker, we sometimes played with colleagues on Wednesdays after work, and could play for 4 hours.

I remember a couple of years ago I've had played for more than 14-15 hours. I started to play at night and only stopped close to the lunch time, I've had only played that much time because I was having a good cash game session.

That sounds like it must have been a lot of fun. :) Back in the 1980s I worked at a small branch of a big company, and there were about thirteen or fourteen of us. Every month or so one of the inside salesmen would host a nickel-dime game at his house. There would usually be six to eight of us, and we played dealer's choice. That was some of the most fun I've ever had playing poker. :)

Hi :)
I have been playing poker for many years, and before, there were days when I played 12-14 hours a day. Now I don't play so much anymore, on average I play 4-5 hours a day and that's basically enough for me.
Good luck :)

I think around twelve hours at the the early years. Many times over eight hours until recently.

It was probably 3 hours when I reached the high stage of one of the online tournaments.

What is your longest poker playing time? It doesn't matter if it is online poker or live poker.
I'm just starting out, maybe 2 hours of online poker.
A long time ago, I played cash offline for 12 hours straight. Before the war in Ukraine. It was in one of the poker clubs in my city. In the game process I had two meals at the poker table. But then I earned a total of more than $200 in net profit. :cool:;)

I remember a session that lasted about 16 hours. At that time, I played a lot of tournaments online and the last tournament that I sat down to play didn't think I would play it that far. But as it turned out, I finished 2nd out of almost 11,000 players and won about $400 by paying $2.2 to enter, which is the tournament that took me about 11 hours to complete.
