Hi all I was wondering on what days do you guys play normally? do you have specific days that you play or don't play? And what is the reason for that?Personally I play everyday. MTT's in the evening, and sometyimes some CG's in the evenings and of course every BRM freeroll possible And if I do decide not to play a day or 2, I would choose the weekends that is my worst bankroll period of the week. Probably because of the many donks?

Try to play everyday, I find Sunday is my worst day of the week when I play. Mainly just play BRM FR's on FT(though that's getting cut into playing the PP ones instead now). When I take a comp/poker break for a couple of hours I'll play my Xbox to keep my mind off poker and start again. When I'm not freerolling on FT or PP, I'll play 55c DoN SNG's on 888 until a tournament on there starts up(usually the $20 SNAP FR). On Saturdays when I remember that its still there I'll play the $1000 weekly FR on WinnerPoker.
I play on too many sites. I should make a schedule around tournaments and what site its on.

I try to play every day but at certain times when the volume of players is not so great.I like to play in the afternoons for about two hours maximum because there seems to be less donks around. Saturdays and Sundays i try to avoid and look forward to the weekdays instead

Hi, This is a nice question for me. I was away from poker tables for a month or so - i think i haven't played at all this year until last sunday. I had lack of time to enjoy the good moments of being lazy in front of the computer, but i always had time to come around BRM. And so, on sunday, i saw the announce of Dafa race, so i decided to go and take a look and i realized i could use that NDB to make my return to poker for 2014! So i did and, although i was a week late in terms of the race, i'm really loving the thrilll of being in the race. The list shows 50 rewarded places, and already had the results of 1 to 6 February and the last guy of the list had less than 70 points. So i took my bonus, started playing, and my first objective was to reach 70 points, which i did. Then, i thought "well, this weaker dude did this last week so, in minimum, he will probably do the same this week, so i've got to double my result if i want to appear in the updated leaderboard". It's being so funny that, even if i don't win nothing in the end, i will keep remembering Dafa gave me some good moments. Btw, it's not easy to play there, but sure is funny! Oh, about your question, i'm now trying to play every days for about an hour, but i already know it will be impossible during some week days, but i will sure compensate during the weekend! Just hope i don't get in the middle of a donk fest taking me all my stack with lousy hands played sickly!

Nowadays i only play when i have some free time since now i have a full time job.
I do not have days or time periods when i do not play, of course i always make a table selection but it has nothing to do with specific days or time periods.
I tried to play every day, even if it is only a quick SnG, but i had a really bad streak the end of last year and been taking a break from poker since then.
I just deposited a little this week again and go in with fresh confidence and rape those tables!

I play everyday,but I can tell I need a break soon,at least a few days off would be nice,I can play very well when I am not tired of playing for days at a time. I also find sundays as the worst days for me too play,not sure why,I mostly play mtt s most days.

I'm pretty sporatic myself. Play tons and tons for a month or two then burn out and take a couple months off. Don't try to play any specific times, unless the site is slow at certain points, then I avoid those.
Never had Matheus, should I add it to the bucket list?

You should try a bottle... I'm no wine connoisseur by ANY means,...but I know what I like... Everybody has different tastes...
Mateus has a nice flavour,...a little sweet but not TOO sweet... It's a little bubbly like champagne,...but not TOO bubbly... Just a nice rose wine for a good price...
Dom Perignon it's NOT,...but NOT crap like Sangria...
Mmmmmm..... I don't drink anymore,....haven't for 28 years now,...but I think you just talked me into buying a bottle.... It's just THAT nice....
I'm interested in Fakiry's opinion,... Who knows, the Portuguese may see Mateus much like Aussies see Fosters beer.... 'Crap' for export to America.... <lol....

Just look at that bottle....all wet and cool looking...
It makes me thirsty
I quit drinking when I was about 24 or 25 years old...in the mid '80s... Maybe had only the odd drink now and then at Christmas... a glass of wine with Christmas dinner,...maybe the odd shot of Baileys... but that's it...
Much prefer blowin' fatties... I'll have one stuck in my yap when they come to view my stiff at the funeral home....
Here's a GREAT recipe for Baileys Irish Creme...
500ml tub of Sour Creme
1/2 cup to 1 cup of icing sugar depending on how sweet your tooth is
1 cup of Baileys
Whip it all together...
...pour it on cheesecake, jello, white cake, whatever... or just tip your head back and pour it down yer throat... <lol...
I usually play every other day, mostly MTTs (varies from small to midstake), mostly on smaller sites - I prefer the ones where they function with sportsbetting offers so I can count on that the players will be a diverse group and probably recreational gamblers like me. Its fun when Im wrong about the latter, but with regulars sometimes easier to play against and find an angle when I have a couple notes and whatnot, while a random dude - who bets on football on weekends and got there to play some cards to not get bored while waiting so - is not always a piece of cake... I mostly play on evening, sometimes late afternoon or at dawn. And what I gather from these touries I lost them back on Omaha H/L cash games which is kinda my kryptonite, not because its so hard to play or calculate innit but mostly because its a smaller/tougher crowd who are playing it (on most sites) with plenty of experience so for me its harder to bring high ROI out of there...

i play when i have money in my account, funded account is a very rare state of being, therefore i don't play that often. why i play only then- well probably because when you want to play for cash, the fact that there is some cash in your account helps to achieve your aim of registrations for the particular game.

Ha, ha, the green is a fine substitute for alcohol. We all have our favourite vices for sure. It's hit and miss for me, mostly socially, more fun with people to laugh with.
That sounds like a pretty tasty combination, I'll definitely have to try that now sometime too, heh.

Nice topic. If the question (when?) Is about time ,for example what part of the day., I enjoy player late afternoon around 17.00 .I play of course when I am not busy enjoying my afternoon frappe the time when sun starts to go down to the horizon(poetic,ha?).That time I start to detect somehow the potential the day has for things to go well. As a gambler I believe to luck so if I saw favor or not I manage my day according to this. For example this week I lost a great pot when my Ace high flush was beaten by Flush Royal. So I gave up and said to myself:it won't be your's day ,get out now !!!
i do like the thrill
because is very funny i love
