How long do you think is appropriate to play poker?

Easylu · Sep 28, 2023

I believe that a session should last a minimum of 8 hours, unless you have had a bad streak and then you do have to rest.

Falai_san · Sep 28, 2023

For me, I think that the appropriate number of hours for playing poker is between 6 and 8 hours.
Sometimes it is less depending on my state of mind or the time I am allowed to play.

It depends on what game you play. Cash maybe another

hamon08 · Sep 28, 2023

I spend about 4-5 hours a day playing poker. It's enough for me, but sometimes I can reach the final table in a tournament and it will take up to 10 hours of play, which is too much for me because I start to feel sleepy

Gallarado777 · Sep 28, 2023

you need to play consistently because you work in life if poker is a job, then you need to spend 8 to 12 hours playing poker, and if you are a poker hobby, you can devote up to 8 hours or up to 5-6 hours a day I think this will be enough to earn some money and enjoy playing, I spend 8 hours or more playing poker if you play well

Mr_Dangerous · Sep 28, 2023

this is a good question. For me if I´m winning I go way above 8 hours.

As long as you can stay focused it is ok, when tilting just shut it off and go out and get a dribk

tony2521 · Sep 28, 2023

It all depends on your physical and mental state and also if you are having a bad or good streak.
The ideal is that you are well rested, well fed and with good vibes to have a session of at least 4 hours and try to get the most out of it.

I think it's necessary until your ultimate goal.

Honesty there is no appropriate session time, it's more about the discipline and knowing when to take a break. It can be 12 hours in, it can be 3 hours in and it can be 15 min into the session, sometimes just nothing goes your way so you might want to stop early and call it a day.

NSX_Amfe2nat · Sep 28, 2023

6-10 hours as for me, if more it is not good for organism

nighton · Sep 28, 2023

As long as you feel confourtable could be 4 6 8 hours. When you dont feel ok just stop playing and do other things

Toruk Makto · Sep 28, 2023

Six to eight hours is a good size, unless you need to spend a bit out of necessity...

yuriko oyama · Sep 28, 2023

I think it's a very individual answer, for me the answer is: while I'm being profitable, or when I think I'm still playing my A game

FIERROS · Sep 28, 2023

It depends on what game you are playing and if you are winning or losing.

babatunde · Sep 28, 2023

About 6, 7 or 8 hours seems fine

hilary antonik filho · Sep 28, 2023

I have played for many consecutive hours, today I keep a set time, up to 6 hours at most

10gerka · Sep 28, 2023

the right amount of time to play poker will depend on yourself, your abilities and many factors, in general the amount of hours will range from 6 hours and up.

77ecos · Sep 29, 2023

I don't pay attention to time, I try to flow and go as far as possible, when I get far to a tournament and a lot of time has passed, I'm usually not aware of it because I'm focused on the game, I'm happy that they are long days of play.

888NOX888 · Sep 29, 2023

Currently, it is comfortable to play for 6-8 hours, when playing for more than 8 hours, fatigue is already felt and, accordingly, a lot of mistakes.

lyki67 · Sep 29, 2023

After 5-6 hours of play I'm to tired and I finish my playing.

Gavincwb · Sep 29, 2023

The best thing is to play between 6 and 8 hours.
I once played 12 hours straight and at the end I had a huge headache and was physically exhausted.

Hi

A minimum of 8 hours is actually a full working day. Maybe yes, but if you're playing 8 hours a day then poker has to be your main source of income, otherwise you simply won't have time for a job that allows you to pay the bills.

lala123 · Sep 29, 2023

it depends on what kind of tournaments it is. some tournaments last less than 2 hours, while others last more than 10 hours, so there is a large variation in the length of the playing time. if you have poker as your job then you have to expect that many hours go into poker every day, but I see no reason to play for that long because it's not my job and there are other things I have to prioritize over poker. but maybe that will change in the future, hopefully.. yes

Naltro · Sep 29, 2023

I think that you should play as long as you are still in the right mind. That means that if you are on tilt or if you sense yourself getting tired, you should stop. I am not a super experienced player so that can be about 2-6 hours for me. I hope to get the mental fortitude for those 8+ hours sessions someday.
