blonde poker forum

During dinner last night i claimed  could play poker for 100hours straight.

Iv never actually done it but I reckon i could.

I'll take bets at 4-1 in my favour if enough action is aquired we'll set it up!

Guage some interest here and then il set some rules up!

Wow, this is either very brave or very very misguided. After 4-5 days of no sleep you would most likely be suffering from psychosis. I just can't see it being physically possible, assuming you aren't going to be using any psychostimulants (amphetamines, etc)

How long did flushy do a few years ago, was it 48 hours? And at the end he was seeing random objects where cards should have been.

I suggest you go on pubmed.com and read up on sleep deprivation. This is not a scientific source, but when David Blaine did his sleep deprivation thing he said "After 36 hours of sleep deprivation it's like being drunk, 72 hours and paranoia sets in, Day Four the mind goes into hallucinations and you're dreaming while awake."

so..
1) Don't do it - there is probably some not-insignificant risk of long term brain damage.
2) If you do it, let me know so I can lump some money on.

Thanks for the feedback. it seems that this is severly ill-advised from a medical prospective, so i mihgt have to lower the hours.

Doubt you'll get action on 3 days, you need that 4th day imo.

Though yeah, you might die.

Excuse me are you a very small fish who often loses his mini tennis ball ?!?

Been medically advised to reduce this to 60, so no chance of 4-1 lol

My doctor once told me that bobody has ever died from lack of sleep, mind you that was a few years ago.

apparently i run a serious short term risk of phycosis developing and something else to do with oxygen in my brain whch can turn me into a vegetable.

Paul Zimbler did this at the WSOPE last year and Phil Laak just did it through the WSOP. If I remember rightly Zimbler managed 70 odd hours and Laak went over 100 but had a doctor on hand because of the dangers involved. I would really give this some consideration if I were you. Look up Laak's blog, he went through months of preparation, had a nutritionist on hand and as I say, had a doctor to check him out periodically.

HTH and good luck.

Paul.

its 72 now. at 5/2!

72 hours i would still have someone on hand to moniter

flushy went up the wall in his charity challenge

he aint been the same since

what drugs are you planing to use?

And where can I get some from?

Can you die from it? I mean, would your body automatically die rather than fall to sleep ?

Body would probs try sleep first I guess. The strategys which the automatic systems in the human body have evolved to survive even though their requests are being ignored are probs different to the strategys the UNITE union might employ in an analogous spot.

 

dont care, die or sleep, he loses the bet, so it would be paiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee time.

sigh none. think it would kill my action sigh,

the comedown after a 72binge wud be fkin dreadful lolol

and yes if i die, I would loose the bet, but probably wouldnt be THAT bothered about it.

There is no way to monitor you against taking pills like modafinal.  I guess one would just have to go by trust.  I could see through these sort of things if a charity was benefiting from your lunicy.

Plan has always been to include a charity element so if people wanted to sponsor the mayhem for charity instead of bet with me that would be cool. Gala have a charity they do loads for so was gonna ask if they put 5-10% of the rake to the cause aswel during the 3 days.

This really isnt me just wanting to make a quick £££ its a cool (well nearly cool) challenge and its something different to do and a bit of fun, if people wanna bet with me for the sweat cool il back myself, or if they just wanna donote to charity cool as well, if they wanna do niether and think the idea is moronic then again fair enough.

Fwiw I have history of playing lohng sessions (12-16hours) and then for no reason at all staying awake for a further 12-15 hours (but this is for 72 hours which is significantly longer) I've always said with my mates I reckon I could do a ridiculously long session so would be cool to do.
