How many hours a day is it recommended to play poker??...

Rmi · Mar 14, 2025

I usually play depending on my work schedule,... since I work 12 hours a day, and on my days off, if I play almost all day.

I think you already answered your question. It all comes down to one's schedule.
A recreational player, one who has a job other than playing poker cannot be able to compete with a pro who has a set schedule to play. Some, if not all the pros, play at least 8 hours a day, 6 days.

I work a lot too, 10 to 12 hours every day, but I still find 3-4 hours to play after work, although sometimes it's hard and on those days I just take a break.

Max 1 tournament daily, about 6 hours. Extra poker is a dependence.

If I don't have anything to do and I have a free day, I can play all day, sometimes I play at night, but if I wake up early, then the day is hard. It all depends on work and my schedule.

After work it varies, if I feel like it then max 1 hour. 2-3 hours on weekends.

There are days when I also work for 10-12 hours and on such days I just don't have the energy to play poker. I play only on days when I don't have much work, and of course, on weekends as well.

I recommended to play poker 0 hours per day , because its fc*ing unreal to win something . Tiiiiilteeeed

I think this is very individual. Not all people can keep a high level concentration for a long time.

maronza1 · Mar 17, 2025

I actually like turbo games since they dont last that long. After about 6 hours I cannot continue playing optimally

Alex Houngan · Mar 17, 2025

I find it comfortable to play from 9 PM to 1 AM, sticking to this schedule about three days a week. Whenever I try to play four or five days in a row, I notice a significant drop in both my game quality and overall rest. Work and family are my main priorities, so for me, poker remains just a hobby.

Mauricio Perrotta · Mar 17, 2025

I am the one to recommend how much you should play, if I can say that many hours is not good. Unless you're single, you live alone and you don't give a shit about social life

dreamer13 · Mar 17, 2025

As a general rule, if you play poker for fun, your session should not last more than 3-4 hours, as it is difficult to maintain concentration after this time.

steve01991 · Mar 17, 2025

i try to play everyday for a couple of hours..... this depends on how many times the grandkids come over, they are my priority right now.

I play in the evenings after work. Weekends are my favourite because, according to statistics, they are the most profitable for me.

Dimidrol2 · Mar 17, 2025

I play when I can or there are good tournaments. I'm currently playing for two or three hours a day, unless there are good tournament passes.

JuiceB0x · Mar 17, 2025

I would say a couple hours a day and weekends as much as you want.

ninocabral · Mar 17, 2025

I usually play about 5 hours a day, about 5 times a week, I do about 7 to 15 tournaments a day

SPANKYSN · Mar 18, 2025

Play in your "Leisure" time. Work, family and your basic chores like getting the car fixed, food shopping, cutting the grass, etc. come first. Poker is a nice way to relax and enjoy some recreation.

10gerka · Mar 18, 2025

It will always depend on how much time you have available to play and the desire and objectives you have. I think you should dedicate at least 6 hours a day to playing poker.

Stringy · Mar 18, 2025

as long as is healthy for you, I'm between 30mins-3hrs a day(if I make it far in a tournament) I'm usually doing other things at the same time

acidburnfx · Mar 18, 2025

If you choose to play cash games, i think it's a reasonable possibility, but if it's one or several simultaneous tournaments it's crazy.

steve01991 · Mar 18, 2025

i couldnt play all day, even though i would love to. So i end up playing about 2 hours in the mornings

How many hours a day is it recommended to play poker??...
