GiantBuddha Marathon Daylight Savings Thread
 

Inspired by Renton's attempted marathon, 200K FPPs I can't spend until I hit supernova, the new 24 table max, and that guy who died running a marathon this morning, I'm going to play my own marathon session. Not necessarily all in one sitting (I'm not a fan of buckets or bottles), but in one day. One 25 hour day.

If anyone's interested, I'll be accepting prop bets on the following numbers of hands at the following odds:

10K hands I'll lay 8:1
15K hands I'll lay 2:1
20K hands You lay 2:1
25K hands You lay 8:1

All to be played at full ring no limit NL50 (where I'll be full stacking) and NL100 (where I'll be shortstacking).

I'm not a great player, but I do expect to actually win while doing this, and will take prop bets on that (although not on specific win rate) at even money.

I don't drink caffeine or anything like that, although I do have a bottle of B-12 vitamins, lots of eye drops, and a bunch of microwavable enchiladas.

So, I'm off to see Cirque Du Soleil, come home, take a quick nap, and I'll be at the tables at midnight.

P.S. does anyone know if Daylight Savings time jacks up pokertracker?

Enjoy the Cirque show -- they are always fun to watch -- and GL on your marathon!

GL

Re: GiantBuddha Marathon Daylight Savings Thread
 

Wow, another someone tries this! GL, aren't you mostly a live player?

Re: GiantBuddha Marathon Daylight Savings Thread
 

GL!

Is your SN the same on here as Stars?

The reason I ask is that I might rail you for a little bit while watching the football games tomorrow.

Someone accomplishing 25k hands (at Pokerstars only) in one day would be absolutely immortalized in my book.

Re: GiantBuddha Marathon Daylight Savings Thread
 

there is something wrong with me, because I actually really respect him for trying this.....

Re: GiantBuddha Marathon Daylight Savings Thread
 

I have done 24 hour "sessions" at work and its fairly possible to do.
Some tips -

- Water water water.
- Avoid sugars & salty foods, you will get a rush of energy then crash. Eat something like pasta and take 15 mins to digest it.
- Keep the simpler tasks (i.e. shortstacking) for when your tired.
