Re: Just set a record for playing POKER

Nice game Fred! I really can't tell you what my longest game was but over the years there has been some marathons for sure. I like that $1 $2 ALL IN game too Fred if it is LIVE but not on line. They play it at Casino Del Sol and I played it at last years convention at the RIV too.

I just thought I would chime in with, there are several CLAIMS to the worlds longest poker game and the Bird Cage Theatre about 30 miles down the road from here is one of them. This from Wikipedia:

The basement poker room is said to be the site of the longest-running poker game in history. Played continuously 24 hours a day for eight years, five months, and three days, legend has it that as much as 10 million dollars changed hands during the marathon game, with the house retaining 10 percent. Some of the participants were Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, Diamond Jim Brady, and George Hearst. When ground water began seeping into the mines in the late 1880s the town went bust, the Bird Cage Theatre along with it. The poker game ended and the building was sealed up in 1889.

The link is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird_Cage_Theatre I can't tell you what chips they were using for the game... but I can tell you that Tombstone has been good at yielding very nice Antique chips for me over the years.
