I play maybe 6 days a week, average between 3/5 hours per day. If I'm not playing poker I'm either playing football (soccer lol) or producing house/breakbeat.
If I get a bad beat or are playing like a donkey one of the two other hobbies set me straight.

It vereys for me like today I have only played 1 game and got wiped out in about 10 mins but will play some more later I tend to do beter around 3 or 4 am in the morning GMT.
every day when I get the chance I consider it to be a hobby, It's just for fun, but I still play seriously. most of the time I play 2 hours cash games 2 - 3 tables and later in the evening I play some five card draw freerolls (I love the game but I'm not good enough for the cash games )

off topic: [quote] you produce yourself`?`
yes i do. i started of with FruityLoops, really nice program, then i heard about Reason and still stick to it - best programm in my opinion but also very difficult. you have to spend alot of time with reason. i got a couple songs (drumnbase and some house) but yet not finished to be honest lol. guess my music is as dirty as yours ...just was curious to hear some other stuff

LOL, ok here I voted everyday but it's not true. There are some periods that I can play everyday but some not so it all depend on what's my actual situation.

I don`t play 6-12hours straight. I break it in smaller 1-2hours chunks, 12 hours usually means I had to play tourney late in the day and I made final table. And one table don`t wear me down to much usually i take a break to eat and rest a little after the meal. Multitabling is sadomasochism and ruins the game IMO. Today has been 12 hour day.

I understand what your saying about multitabling. You want to make profit so its for example 4 tables $10 or 1 table $40(or $20). So offcourse you can concentrate more on 1 table for sure but what if you make more money with 4 times $10 versus 1 table $40?

@doomdy It is not about putting more money at one table but playing one table. I have noticed that most of the players multitabling play too tight and cards only. Some school bluffs if they miss on rag flop but that`s it. When there are 3 players like that on 10 seater or 2 on 6 seater, they force others into the same type of play and it looks like some computer game where you have to choose based on YOUR cards only. IMO thats not poker. I watched that player who got accused that he is a bot because he played too many tables, Khan, and from what i saw he proves exactly that. He did not try to play too much out of his cards even when he played 1 table only, something what Nguyen is not doing and what Scotty mastered, he is prepared and able to win a hand with 7-2off if he finds a spot.
