the style you want to follow is just that you have to be focused and patient at the tables and time to play because each tournament has different schedules.

I think we need to admit that most poker players work, and they play poker in their free time. And only a small percentage of players only play poker, and they manage their free time differently.

Basically, I have a clear daily routine. I play poker for 4-5 hours during the day, but sometimes I start playing only at 11 pm and go to bed at 3 or 4 am. And it's not good for my body because I don't get enough sleep. So, for me, playing during the day is much better and more productive, even though most players and good tournaments are concentrated in the evening

It directly depends on how much the average player earns. There are different average players. There are those who have a main job and play poker in the evenings, such players can have income from the game and can also spend money on the game. How much do you think the average poker player earns?

Lifestyle depends on many factors. The average poker player goes to work 5 days a week, works eight hours a day and plays poker in the evenings and on weekends.

I think a poker player's lifestyle depends on being able to schedule time for tournaments.

Depends of what average means and if it's a poker player that play live or only online poker. I read stories of some online poker pros (not the famous ones) and it seems to be like a regular home office job - a lot of hours in front of a computer.

For me an average poker player should earn at least between 1K and 2K USD, that money should be additional to what you earn in your normal job... and with that money you could have a decent lifestyle.

Such a lifestyle that his salary is enough for. 90% of the average player has no income from poker, but most likely has a job and a salary to pay their bills. So the answer is obvious. The average player can lead such a lifestyle that his salary is enough for.

I believe this lifestyle is very personal. Each one will have their own and feel better in any way. I don't believe we can look for a better lifestyle specifically for a poker player. I think everyone should look for what they think is the best for themselves.

Set a clock for regular play, if you want to increase your performance - eat right and get enough sleep.

The lifestyle of an average poker player can vary widely depending on their level of skill, experience, and success in the game. While some poker players achieve significant financial success and live luxurious lifestyles, many others lead more modest and balanced lives.

Hi, Antonioadv! I think, on this question impossible to reply exactly... By one simple cause: because the all people are absolutely different!
And therefore Everybody has your own unigue lifestyle! But this is only my private opinion... Good Luck!
