Just curious about how many hours you play guys. I would like to now how much time do you spend playing poker, because the past few days my family has been telling me that I spend too much time playing poker ahhaha
If you are pro maybe you play an average of 6-8 hours per day, but I'm more interested in how many hours common people play.
im not pro but i lost my job with the crisis in dec 2008 and start play poker in marth this year now when im boring i play more than 10 hours by day off course the most is freeroll my family say i spend too much time playing poker too but its not expensive like go to cinema

I play around 5 hours a day. Also, mostly freerolls. I have a couple poker accounts with no deposit bonus, but I'm afraid to blow all the money because I'm still new to the game. I think I have to gain more experience before I venture myself regularly on the cash games
Currently I play about 4 hours a day average, I wake up several hours earlier than the rest of the family. Which is nice because that time I get to myself and it also just happens to be the time it starts getting late for US players. Hoping they are drinking and getting tired. That would explain some of the crazy calls and plays that come this way!!!!

Ususally it's 1 to 2 hours a day, but in winter I have less work and play MTT's and freerolls, so then it's 4 to 8 hours easily. So I can't wait for the winter to come
Posted by Plexo: Just curious about how many hours you play guys.
It depends on what I'm playing and for which targets... so if it's a MTT my target is indeed to win and if I'm running good, there is a chance that the session is gonna last for around 2-3 hours and maybe longer... as for cash games... I play them to either completing a bonus or to taking some advantages of a rakeback deal... and not for too long. Usually less than 1 hour as I multitabling 2-4 tables in this case.

Normally i play like two hours. But at weekends i can play three or four. But it really depends what is the phase of the year. When i am in exams time or have a lot of work i stop playing. SO it could be 4 3 2 1 or zero hours per day!

Nowadays i can only play for about 1 and 1/2 hour per day, during the afternoon, because of the job, but i compensate it at weekend, when i get to play up to 5 hours, so i think its a good mark for a poker lover, although a "drunk player" like i define myself (one step forward two steps back).

depends on the day, but usually play between 2 to 4 hours. Saturdays and Sundays I play a little more, 4 to 6 hours. game tournaments, so I lose some, and also won little (too little): (hahaha

There are days when I don't play at all and days when I play like the whole day, sounds familiar ? From day after day I use to play around 2-4h meaning 8-20 sng. I mostly play sng 'cause got used to play those. Sounds nice when you say that you win like 3/5-4/5 as I do, but got bad days too...
I guess I should play more, but then again there are things we all must do such as die like the rest.
