How long Have you Played Without Sleeping?

Oops, I do not think this marathon is a good idea.

Your game at the end of those days should be on autopilot, without concentration and quality
 
I always sleep face because poker is the sport of the mind and if the mind is tired then it means that I will not get results
 
Me too, nearly 2 days... but i played a lot of casino slots also, just to clear my mind for awhile 🙂
 
My longest session was about 36 hours, made some deep runs in tournaments so sitting out and getting some sleep wasnt really an option at the time.

These days my sessions normally last about 4 hours in cash games.

I.ve played live home games for about 61 hours straight😀

That's the longest run. We had people going home to sleep while others joined and when they went to sleep the others came back, but me and two other guys were continuously there. 😀
Those were the fun times.🙂

Believe it or not.... I drank mostly 220 energy drink but not coffee and had a blast😀
 
For more than 1 and a half day , playing NL cash games , at the end I made great mistakes losing my whole bankroll😀 . Many times for more than 8 hour playing freerolls . Some months ago playing for one whole day with one or two breaks only playing one table zoom NLH 5nl , I achived to get more than 50VPPs ,won some $$ , but at the end , while extremely tired , I didn't stopped when I should , as a result made 2-3 stupid donkey calls , lost most of the profits 🙁
 
OMG I don't know how you all do it. Longest I've played is probably 10 hours. I need my sleep 🙂
 
I do not see the point of not sleeping because of the freerolls, it's better to go and earn money in the city normally than for a couple of bucks to suffer
 
Unfortunately to play without a dream now is not possible for me ((
But if a serious tournament will be then ready to not sleep for days))

Slow down, mate, what you are doing is not healthy at all, and it's a strong sign of addiction. My sessions never exceed 5-6 hours, but that's just me, others like longer sessions especially if they are on a winning streak, but 48 hours is way too much, hopefully you are not taking amphetamines or snorting cocaine to help you stay awake.
 
I watch myself to do not play more than 10 hours a day. If a tournament is to long, about 6 ~8 hours, I play just this one and then i stop. I think that is very important, for a good result (in a long period of time) to find a middle between playing, sleeping, eating and having some distractions during the day. If i do play, more than that (10h), my head starts to make bad decision...
 
Sleep is very important, otherwise the concentration of attention is lost and many errors are allowed. I can not even imagine how you can play without rest for at least one day.
 
Poker it is not a marathon, definetely I prefer to play with fresh head 🙂 I think longest for me was 7 hours 🙂 freeroll/ cashed 194$
 
Maximum a lot of table tournaments when I played, I did not sleep for 12 hours 🙂 in spring it is normal for me, if it were necessary it would be possible and not to sleep for two days 🙂 🙂
 
I have went for 48 hours or even a little more. Then I sleep for 36 hours and when I get up I feel like shit. I'm on one of those runs now. I started at noon yesterday and I have 4 MTTs lined up starting at 5:30 this morning.
 
I have no experience about no sleeping long time while playing poker 🙂
