    None of them have anything to do with whether you are up or down for that play session.

    You're not permitted to play that long. Who would delete Zee's political posts?

    Good one. I suppose you can play long sessions if you got suckers at your table. Never leave a table with positive suckers, huh.

    Norm, can you share with us how much you won or lost during your 35-hour poker marathon?

    I thought everyone played those games. Does the younger crowd no longer play marathon sessions? Maybe that died out when casinos opened. For us it was standard to start late Friday afternoon and play until Monday morning (people had to go straight to work). When Monday was a holiday - we played until Tuesday morning. Our biker friends helped us quite a bit in those days. Come to think of it, I gained weight after the casinos opened. I used to think my metabolism was slowing down because I got older.

    Knowledgeable responses will tell you that stop losses or stop wins are a mirage and offer no advantage. Don't resist the information, just do deeper research before making statements like "effective stop losses".

    These people are not wrong.
    Luck is nothing more than probability taken personally!
