My longest was around 7 hours exhausting but fun. What's the longest session you've ever had, and how did you manage it?

When I play MTTs, I plan my schedule so that my session doesn’t last longer than about eight hours. Anything beyond that and my focus starts to fade, my mind just turns dull, decisions get slower, and I stop thinking clearly. I’ve found that maintaining a shorter, well-structured grind is way more valuable than trying to push through fatigue. Quality volume beats quantity every time, especially in tournaments where one small lapse can cost everything.

in 1 tournament at 12h, in PS , in session at around 18h because of the different times of the sites (good tournaments that start very late and I started the session very early)

I had 7 hour spin n go and hyperhu sessions.
I once had a live tournament that lasted about 15 hours.
During one of the breaks, they woke me up saying that the tournament was continuing. :)

I don't play for long, maybe 3 hours is the maximum I can play.

Many years ago at pokerstars.
I finished 1st on 10,000 players.
Must of been more than 8 hours.
All that to get a ticket to enter real money tournament.

The longest live cash game lasted 23 hours. That was when, instead of going to the academy to study, I went to the poker club to play all day long😁🍹
