I played in a free roll yesterday that started with around 500 or so players. After about 6 hours I knew that I had played too many hours of straight poker.

I recently had a intense debate about how many hours of poker is too much for one day? I had completed a very long tournament and was thinking about entering another when I was warned against it. It was argued that 6-8 hours of poker in one day is excessive. I disagree with this assessment, what do you think?





I do not know how to whom) But I can not concentrate more than 6-8 hours in a row, then I become weak and start making mistakes. The maximum that can be played for a day is 10-12 hours, but after such a long session during the day, it's better do not go into the game. For me it is so)

It wouldn't be the same for everyone. Depends on what responsibilities a person has. Such as wife or husband, kids and a job. I have none of the above so I play 8 to 10 hours a day most days.

I started playing a tournament while watching the game, bad idea. I was a little tired already and the tournament ran later than the game did then I just started doing stupid things because of fatigue. Once again too many hours of poker. ...

I think it depends on what we play if we play cash if we can set a schedule instead if we play tournaments there depends on our quality of play .. since a tournament can last between 3 4 5 or more hours .. and if not put a quantity of money to spend per day.

I played 4 hrs of poker yesterday without any interruptions or complaints, I might have found a happy medium between personal time and poker time. I will test this theory again today or tomorrow to see if it works again. ..lol:icon_thum

i believe that's individual, because for some, this can be a lifestyle, a fun, an addiction. I don't believe in how many hours a day it takes, because if you're in the mood to play all day, then played :)

well, it depends a lot on the tournaments I'm playing, but about 4 hours a day but I intend to increase to 6 hours soon.

Hello.
I play only 2-3 hours a day and about 3-4 times a week. Unfortunately, no more time is left out.

I dont think I could be a number on it, depends on what you are playing in I suppose, I use to play a lot more than I do now, but still like to keep my hand in it.

For each individual it all depends on the body and age. With age, I have less opportunity to sit and play for a long time.

I think it depends why you want to keep playing.
If you are feeling good and fresh then I don't see the problem continuing.
If you are chasing losses then it may be time to call it a day

Because Since my BR is too small, I physically cannot play for many hours of poker, so I only play freerolls.

I think 3-4 hours a day is more than enough; if it's a mtt and you run deep then more if needed should be ok.
Agreed

The more hours of play, the greater the chances of winning, so this means that you are ahead in the tournament. Generally speaking, I think 8 hours to 10 hours

Here lately I spend several hours, upwards of 6+, playing. It’s definitely not healthy because I could be doing so much more productive things- but it’s so much fun!!

As it seems to me, 8-10 hours for playing poker is quite enough for me,but then I either from fatigue or else that I start to play poorly.

If I go deep ITM, good roll on a Tournament can easy get over 5 hours. After that I´m done. Not even the next day I do not play.
Cheers,
M.D.

So I think it really depends. If your are playing a big tournament it could happen that you have to play very long but if you just play some litte games it would be just a few hours. Probably the first three hours you are concentrated and focused.
