Most online poker players try to long on for about eight hours a day and play for five to six days a week depending on their drive and also their profitability given a particular session. Over a period of three to four months, they might go on to log about 50,000 hands if they multi table. Give the grinding and competitive nature of these online poker players, an old record of playing 40,000 hands in a 24 hour period was smashed by online player ‘joeingram1’.

‘Joeingram1’ decided that he had to make his mark on the world and set himself the challenge of playing 50,000 hands in 24 hours. On top of just playing 50,000 hands, he felt that it would only be a successful challenge if he made a profit on the session. His final count was a profit of $800 played on the micro level of $0.10/$0.25. He also netted an extra $33,000 of side bets on his performance with many other poker players. Look out for another major challenger to this record in the next few months.
