Can't say it's a poker strategy, but it really does work. At weekends the amount of craaaazzyyyy fishes is much bigger than weekdays.
I just won around 20$ from the same guy in nl .10, that buy in around 10 times and simply couldn't or didn't know how to fold. Everybody in the table just waited to have a hand to make some cash.
My guess is that he deposited 50$ to try poker without even know the rules, it's incredible.
What do you guys think about this? Do you also agree that at weekends is much easier to make money at poker ?

It depends on the time. During the day there is surely alot more fish because many casual players that are usually busy with their jobs play. However,in the night many of the people that still play are the nerdy regs that know how to play. There are def. exceptions tho
thats funny am down $14 today, i also must be a fish but i cleared a bonus of $10 on stars moved up to silver so im down only $4 so far i really havnt put much volume in either, so i reach silver in ten days, i really dont play much on a weekend cause i have my kids, but if i do ive noticed there plenty of players (fish) clue less playing at the tables,
lmao only $4 i sometime pay $3 total in rake at omaha h/l when the pot get big

Ha ha, second that dozn I started the day pretty down to. But yeah, I agree definitely more fish come out of hiding in the evenings and weekends. I like the bit about not bluffing them too much. I particularly noticed that yesterday, my raises just weren't getting as much respect as they usually do. Good luck out there.

yeah on weekends the traffic is higher than rest of the days and more fish / people willing to gamble. i think best time is to play very early morning sunday when most of the fish is tired/ on tilt.

For sure there is more traffic on weekends and a lot more people who don´t play regular and just for fun / hobby. So it is a good chance to build up bankroll if one can find the right table.

Hahaha, I once spent $28 clearing a $20 bonus playing rush (RIP)
So as not to get off topic - I think weekends/evenings are definately easier.

This is knon for a lot of time actually, in weekends there are a lot of people that hit the tables for fun, and here i'm not talking about grinders but about people that play poker from time to time
If you are using a software tool like holdem manager or poker tracker and you play a lot every day, you can find in the reports that weekends are a lot more profitable than week days
I'm sure for cash days but it also must be true for tournamens or sit and go but i don't play too often this type of games...
