Is that 2 records held by the unabomber, most games played and the longest time played. Or was the outher beat? Anyway, pointless if you ask me. Try most money won Laak.

Man you can be mean B1gfoot. Made me laugh lol.
Laak is one of my fav high stakes cash game players, because every time he sits down the table gets alive. He do plays a lot of abc, but thats only to make table image for himself before he starts fireing off. Still makes me laugh how he raised with AA in HSP 50k preflop, just to get 4-5 limpers off the pot and take the money lol.

Lucifer bless Americans . . . I used to have stay-awake contests with my cousins back in the day, and I could only go a day and a half. I can't even comprehend how he was able to make it past 3 days, doing something mentally intensive like playing Poker. However, when I first started playing cash games, I would play for 9 or 10 hours straight. Still, this is a beast of a feat, even if technically anyone could replicate it.

I frickin ridulous. He was 5k up? Holy crap. I know that at Harrahs casino in Indiana, the dealers say there was once a guy who was there for 6 days. By the end his skin was pink and he was shaking. Yet , he was 15k up just playing 2-5 no limit. Is it worth it?

Damn amazing he made a profit! You would think ha was sitting with matches holding up his eyelids making bad calls the last 48 huors. Me, I start playing bad after about two hours!!
And nevermind haters, if he wants to do it he does it, I dont see how do you have a problem with that
