Posted by smurphy: how many hours have u played non stop?
3 hours I did play non-stop poker at FTP, I was multitabling 2 omaha Hi cash games tables... I usually don't play long session as the longer I play the longer my game gets worse, so it's a problem of concentration... which I'm working on to improve...

I have found that two hours, if you (I) play two tables, is the maximum for keeping a good game up. After that I tend to call to much. Playing four tables, is like half an hour, after that the play starts to deterriorate.
But when I'm drunk, man, I can play until 9 the next morning. (Many a time my wife has, on her way to work, found me standing on my knees in front of the computer, since I'm to drunk to sit on a chair, with one hand over one of my eyes, so I can see the cards. And I almost always make a profit. Totally fucked up, but that's the way it is.

It depends on how many table I play. When I play more than 8 tables I can't play more than 2 hours, because I start to feel tired later and my game begins to change. However, if I'm playing one or two MTTs I can make longer sesion (5-6 hours), but taking always the 5 min. breaks to take a breath, eat somenthing and go to bathroom.
