Prop Bet Idea

[SuuPRlim]

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!

[Numpty Dumpty]

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.

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.

what drugs are you planing to use?

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 ?

[thetank]

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.
