And he says he's gonna do it again.
Poker pro Scott Seiver shared on Twitter about his hardcore grind session at the cash game tables.
Seiver had been successful so far in his quest during this year's WSOP. He defeated a field of 114 entries and won Event #52: $10,000 Limit Hold'em Championship for $296,222, getting himself his second career bracelet in the process. He also cashed three times mo[...] Read more » Scott Seiver Grinds 32 Hours Straight at Cash Game Tables

Grinding for 32 hours straight, playing poker? Why? Is there a reason for it ?
And the other guy with the record of playing 115 hours straight. All i can say is, that it is a silly record. One of many out there. What an accomplishment that is....

It sure is an impressive thing to accomplish, even tho it isn't the record. What I would have liked to know tho is if he made a profit and if so, how much. And if he's gonna do it all again after just 4 hours of sleep, it would be really interesting to know how that session turned out.
All I know for sure is that I wouldn't have the patience for a session that long, I would probably go crazy!

I don't think i could stay awake for 32 hours let alone play poker for that long. These poker players' really do love their craft and are very dedicated to it. I wonder how much he won or lost during this session?

It's no shame to fall asleep at a poker table after 32 hours of play. The human body resists better with different things, but if you do not use it, then you will fall asleep like Daniel "Jungleman" Cates. This is not ridiculous but next time should get up from the table to make a little move ( exercises ).

Why exactly is an impressive thing to accomplish? I dont really get this. SO he stayed awake for several hours, days if you like playing poker. And ? .... He was sitting on a chair playing a card game. I dont see anything impressive here.

Our forum mate yout85 used to make challenges like those oner and if I remember correctly they were also profitable for him.
I could barely keep focused for a couple of hours last times I was still playing poker then I got bored or distracted: so my congrats goes to players able to do that.

I like those records only when guys who break this kind of record, do that for some purpose. For charity, fame, etc. But playing 32 hours without sleep just for playing is silly.
And like your guys already wrote, it's hard to focus and concentrate for more than couple hours, and in this case is also lack of sleep. And I remember, when I serve for army, and I don't sleep for whole night. It was massacre... The next day, I will be out of my mind... So I wonder, how he managed to not only to fall asleep but also mantain some level of focus.

well I am not sure what is the point of playing 32 hours straight, unless this involves some sort of a side bet, you are just trying to generate some publicity, but you can do that more quickly by for example playing with trousers which have cut outs for your balls, and have them visible
Damn the longest duration I play poker without stopping was 9 hours and I felt sick too afterwards... These guys are sick especially Phil Laak's challenge which ended with only 4k profit lol

Felling sick afterwards is the lesser of the two evils. The other one is, to start playing crap due to fatigue. I start losing after a couple of hours playing only, since i get tired and really bored. It must be a no no for many players, playing that long

Yeah I can imagine how well based decisions can be made after playing all day especially if you are in the 32nd hour. This man is insane to do this, but probably it was not his first time.

What session of Scott Seiver, last more than 32 consecutive hours playing cash table is strong because it hits the fatigue at some point but I achieve it, hopefully in the end it was positive in his bench.
As others say it is not impressive clear that if you do not do what you like and beat the dream on the way.

Yes like some people in this forum say i too think it is not good to play poker for so long, 32 hours is bad to your health; see sometimes people play in my local casino play for very long and in end they are tired and make bad decision and lose money

This must be forbidden by casinos because is very tiring. Casino owners should make a new rule and maximum allowed to be 16 hours. In this way, the players would be more restful and no one will fall asleep at the table. I do not understand why they accepted this option.

this si not so bad,if he had good sleep day before and then to play 32 hours ,but to play over that,even 115 hours like phil laak,that is crazy and not good for health!ofcourse that some tournaments need to be played for longer time,but not for two days or more in one session!
