Morning / Early Afternoon
I usually wake up without an alarm, since my sleep schedule is shaped around my late-night grind.
I make a light breakfast and start with a mental warm-up: reviewing hands, checking solver spots, and running a few range drills.
After that, I get some physical activity in — either the gym, some stretching, or a walk — just to clear my head and stay sharp.
I also prepare my meals and snacks for the session ahead.
Afternoon — Starting the Grind
I set up my workspace: multi-monitor setup, HUD, notes, bankroll tracking — everything in place.
Then I choose which tables or tournaments to play based on the softest traffic available.
I play in focused blocks of about 1.5 to 2 hours, taking short breaks between them to avoid fatigue and keep my decision-making sharp.
Evening — Prime Time
Evening is when the online games are at their softest worldwide, so this is usually the most important part of my day.
I run long sessions here, especially if I’m playing tournaments — MTTs can easily keep me going until 3–5 a.m.
If I’m playing cash instead, the pace is steadier but still very profitable at night.
Late Night
When the session ends, I do a quick review of the key hands.
I also take notes on my mental game — things like confidence levels, tilt moments, emotional leaks, anything that stood out.
Finally, I wind down with something relaxing: a series, some reading, or a bit of gaming before bed.

I'm not sure if this really answers your question about a typical day, but I think the most important thing is to try to free up as much of that time for yourself as possible and take the time to think carefully about how best to use that time for poker and family.
