I love poker, but I don't have enough time to work together.
How do people with jobs play poker?

I play poker in the evenings after work. On average, I play for 3-5 hours. Poker takes a lot of time, in my case it's actually a whole evening. But I don't have a wife or children, so I can afford it.

Poker can be a great hobby for a working person, but to become a professional you need to dedicate all your time to poker.

Hi :)
Of course, everything is individual and depends on your work schedule. But I think everyone who works can devote Fridays and weekends to poker. But then, unfortunately, there will be no time left for other things.

When you're on the throne at work, whip out your phone and play cash games.

I play in the evenings after work and on weekends. It's hard to combine, but I've managed to adapt somehow. Although, if I'm really tired, I can miss some tournaments.

If you want to combine poker with work and multitask, find a security guard job at a post where nothing at all happens day in and day out, and where nobody is monitoring your online activity. Poker all day long!

All you have to do is become a poker dealer at your local casino. That way you eliminate all the frustrations and maybe even learn a few things.

Yeah ... That was my first thought but you have to remember to have the volume muted, otherwise a nosey neighbour on their throne might file a report of shinanigans to the boss. .. Also cussing from a bad beat could be misconstrued as suffering severe constipation or bowel problems.

You need to further clarify the job and level of poker played.

Do i believe its possible to work a full time job (minimum 40 hours) and play poker (also study) absolutely not.

Buying a laptop and playing at work is a good option, I have many friends who do this if their work allows. I work as a security guard and play at work.A roller skate at work can only work if nothing distracts you, i.e. there is complete concentration.

I work in the afternoon, play poker in the morning and at night, on the weekends I wash my clothes very early so I can spend the whole day playing poker.
