I didn't make it

I only made it through 16 hours before I decided it would be best to pull the plug. It all started off really well for me, within the first 6 hours I was up around $8k, but unfortunately that's where I'd peak and the only way from there on was down. I lost, lost some more, then a little bit more and eventually found myself back to even after about 13 hours of play.

I then took a 20-minute break, ate a nice breakfast, got some fresh air on the balcony and came back to the tables with a good feeling. The feeling proved to be a fluke and I lost an additional two buy-ins playing $10/20NL, which brought my total loss to just around $4k for the session. As previously mentioned, I stopped after 16 hours due to the fact that I noticed myself making questionable plays towards the end where I wasn't really sure if I would have played the hands the same had I been fully rested.

Conclusion: Though 24 hour sessions can be fun and are certainly challenging, it's probably best to break down the session into several 3-6 hour sessions with appropriate breaks inbetween. This keeps you refreshed and is certainly a healthier way to get in plenty of hours.
