When Do You Play and Why?

Comptonkid · Feb 11, 2014

im in college so i play in between my classes and at nights.

wanderingthehall · Feb 11, 2014

I freeroll during the weekday evenings while I'm at work. When I get home I'll play some SNGs and maybe a couple MTTs for 2-3 hours late at night since I get home at midnight PST. Weekends I'm playing in the poker.org series, so I'll wake up and play a couple freerolls. Then I take a few hours off to enjoy my weekend and go enjoy some time outside. Then in the evening on Saturday and Sunday I'll grind it out for 6-8 hours playing a bunch of MTTs and some SNGs.

I play mostly MTTs and i have a schedule where and when tournaments are, mostly between 7 and 11 PM on work days, during the weekend it can be from 3 PM.

sslater · Feb 15, 2014

the best night around 20: 00 when traffic is the best and the best tournaments. and if you ask for the day Sunday so sure: D

I play every day or there about, I play from noon to around 9 or 10 pm. I'm 67 years old and disabled so it helps pass the day not to mention it adds some funds to my meek little Social Security check. I just love the game, even when I hate it. Take care.

Game whenever I have some time. Overall, the game during the week, during working hours, the micro limtes. So if I need to leave me, do not lose much. Still, playing at home whenever I come back from work at night. My wife does not like that very much, (estoo arranging a real fight at home kk). Weekend game less than during the week, but still go into some tournaments, usually turbos.

LastSon76 · Feb 17, 2014

Online: mostly evenings (after work and family time) for a few SNGs, I try to get up early on Saturdays to play in some MTTs, and Sundays I'll play at least a few MTTs after the obligatory church and family time.
Live: I've got 2 monthly games done in a tournament style with points going towards end of year final table for the money, neither run by me, both in the mid-20s to high 30s as far as player count. VERY occasionally I'll be available for a mid-week quickie 8-10 person tourney. . .typically structured for 3 hrs or so.
NEVER enough time to play as much as I'd like. . .stupid job.

TL;DR - don't play as much as I'd like, but I play live and online.

I'd imagine this is a solid policy, though realistically I play whenever.

dhix · Feb 18, 2014

MTT and SnG are different . Sng i think is more "easy" .

bikkeromano · Feb 24, 2014

rugby0 · Feb 24, 2014

I play everyday but take 45 minute breaks between each series. Do my honey-dos in those time periods.

shanest · Feb 24, 2014

Whenever I have a decent amount of free time and am not tired or distracted

kidanred · Mar 30, 2014

I play poker, when i'm not in university and don't have no other causes

Poker77_LV · Mar 30, 2014

i play after school,and i'm playing it because it's interesting and talk is about real money

godness420 · Apr 10, 2014

play a couple of hours per day, but i try to not play many hours, makes the game more interessing than play it all day long

Staneff · Apr 11, 2014

I play every time i have free time but mostly on tournaments. When get bored I choose some funny game such as badugi

or just play some holdem tables for fun.

pokertoi · Apr 21, 2014

When I was off of work for 3 years due to an injury, I used to play every day, almost all day. Of course that was before Black Friday. Now I play most days when I can after work. I don't play as much, but with adding new forums i'm beginning to get back to be almost addicted.

Jackdaclown · Apr 22, 2014

I play any moment I can. Its hard to balance work and kids and my girl. So i don't have a set schedule but could be playing at anytime of the day just depending on what the day has in store for me. The only reason why I play all the time is to keep figuring out my bad plays so I can work towards improved play.

ammytyagi · Apr 22, 2014

I usually start playing late in night and play mostly on weekdays as I mostly do assignment work on weekends. Plays few MTTs along with some DoubleOrNothing and that would be end of my day(night).

I've got my missus' steely eye on me right now! Best shut it down.

Popas · Apr 22, 2014

Well, the best time to play, is when there is the most recreational players online. That said, it's in the evenings, or in late night.

Ofcourse, when u're not tired, to spew stacks, as i tend to do when i'm tired, like he prob has it, ah whatever, just move all in for no reason.

LeanAndMean · Apr 22, 2014

I play every day. For one thing, I am working on Carbon's "two a days". But also, I don't have that much else to do. What else is there for us "old farts"

DarkRoster33 · Apr 23, 2014

Mostly i play at the hours when there are most of my favorite MTT happening, so i rarely play other times because of that
