So I work night shifts and on my days off I keep to the same routine.
Most of my poker playing takes place between midnight and 7:am.
Absolutely no distractions at all and I never play when I am tired.
But I have noticed that I make more money between 4:00 am and 7:00 am than I do earlier in the night.
This is regularly the case and not just at the odd times.
I'm at a loss to explain it.

When do you play your best poker and have you noticed your winning increasing at different times?

Those are the days when the bigger tourneys seem to run.

I usually play between 8 and 11 in the morning, although I usually save tournaments for later and play them, but I prefer not to do it at night.

my earnings are so erratic that I'm only happy when they happen, and I have no idea what time it happens it's so rare.

I like to play in the morning aswell, my mind seems fresh to make decisions. I usually play MTTs so if I get in the final table in like 8hrs I wouldn't be tired at all.

I mostly play only on weekends, a good game depends on the internal state and the availability of free time, so closer to sleep the level of the game decreases.

For me, the first 2 hours of the game, regardless of the time of day. There are people who play poker for fun, they are also called "fish". They do not care about improving their strategy, and therefore will drain money at the speed of light. Their money, in fact, keeps the entire poker industry. Many people are constantly arguing about which nationality players play poker worse and which ones are better, but I will tell you that good and bad players can be found anywhere in the world. Therefore, to find bad players, first determine the time with maximum traffic.The first months of the year are the most lucrative for gyms and gyms, and the same applies to online poker.

Between 7-9pm GMT. Particularly during the week. Work, dinner and chores over, so then I can concentrate and focus more on the game and table.

I like to play most of all on Friday nights and all day on Saturday. On those days, many people play poker while drunk and make a lot of mistakes, and I take advantage of that.)

I don't have a specific time to play better. It all depends on my physical and mental condition, sometimes during the day I feel bad, sometimes at night, everything is different.
