Twenty Four Hours of Poker … By the Numbers
I made it. I started playing poker at 12:28 p.m. on Saturday, April 22 and played the last hand of a $1/$2 modified H.O.R.S.E. cash game just over 24 hours later. Oh yeah, since we hadn’t had quite enough at that point, we played a $5 No Limit Hold’em Tournament to cap the experience.
