tightmike 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 For those who are interested, I have started a blog detailing my journey to set the world record for consecutive hours of played poker.The address is at www.pokerworldrecord.blogspot.comAlong with the world record I will be making another big announcement later this summer when the record will be attemted. I think this other announcement might be enjoyed by all. No, the record is not another attempt at playing poker full-time, even though I might. The announcement has to do with something tangible.Hope all is well.mcwww.pokerworldrecord.com Link to post Share on other sites

lordofelt 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Gl Mike 73 hours of poker sounds like a lot of fun unless you go on a cold streak! Sounds kinda tough for a sprints coach though Link to post Share on other sites

I'll look for you in the next edition of the book.BTW, are you going to stop at 73 hours or try go for longer!73 hrs is the "official" word record............Personally, I know of a player who surpassed that mark at least 10 times last summer - nearly every week in fact.the longest session I saw him play was 121 hrs.......after which he was so delerious he was asked to leave.After his car wouldnt start, he fell asleep in it (with the windows up - couldnt move them since they were power windows). This was the hottest day of the year and he nearly died in his car in the parking lot.Amazing but true...........there are hundreds of witnesses.The casino contacted Guiness, but in order for him to get into the record books he would have to do it again with officials there.He is still yet to decide if he will undertake this.

dansheetz 0 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 73 hours is nothing. I have surpassed that every time I have been to vegas. In the original world series of poker, Johnny Moss and Nick the Greek played for like several months straight. I'm not sure how often they took breaks, but I would imagine they did way more than 3 days at a stretch. Thats what I'm saying! Link to post Share on other sites
aucu 3 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I crap out after 30 hours then I can´t think right the next day. Link to post Share on other sites
fleung22 1 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hmm...that's a lot of hours for sure.Two things:1. Assuming you can stay awake that long...How are you going to ensure that you don't bust before the record is made. I'm not saying this to insult you but if your goal of going pro didn't pan out then busting is a reality (as it is for even a pro).2. Is 73 hours even really the record? Didn't Doyle say he played for 5 straight days once? Link to post Share on other sites
