on natural 8 ( GG poker skin) there is so much traffic I don't think it makes much difference. but on acr (. wpn ) the nightime is much softer opponents ( 8pm to midnight ) . weekends are great on acr and Friday nights also.

I definitely find Fridays to Sundays work best, as mentioned before there are more players in the evenings and a whole lot more skill levels that play, obviously with that comes more variance as numbers and probability factors come into play but i tend to find i have made more money playing at these times.
I would however caveat that by saying its worth sticking to lowest stakes at these times too if you are a cash game rookie and have a cut off limit as part of good, solid bankroll management.

I believe that everyone should set the best time, according to their activities, but for me the best time is the evening

this is way too big a a? online or live? live is a lot of things to think about like when do non players play just to play etc...i found 2pm to 9pm the best time in people live on vacation online...your looking for drunks so weekends when is very little action or less action....so to me opposite but your targeting certain people which can be tricky etc...

It really depends on where you live and what site you are playing on.

Seems like Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday are the softest.

After 6 pm, starting the night in Brazil! Smaller field with more carefree and indifferent players compared to the regulars at the busiest times of the day!

Yes, but gaming sites could expand specific night tournaments just for Brazilians and reward them well since at night the largest number of players on average are Brazilians as the majority among other nations! A nice rewards program in these tournaments!

For me, the best time to play online poker would be at night, because I have an 8-hour job and when I get home I am calm and relaxed and I just want to enjoy the game whether I win or lose, but for me it is more tolerable now. I'm calm, on weekends it can be any time but that depends on each person. The important thing is that you like the game and have a good time. Even if you lose, it can start as a hobby and maybe one day you could dedicate yourself to that. but like i told you Before, that depends on each person, each human being is a world and no one has the same facilities or deficiencies as others, greetings, good luck at the tables!

Normally, my best time is at night. I think I'm more awake and focused on making more money.

Doesn't that depend on where you are in the world? The question is kind of meaningless without taking that into account

I find late works if you are able to stay awake lol.

Late fridays and Sats - you will soon work out the familiar faces and grinders and i agree with Fundiver - table select is crucial, ive been known to ahem lets say look for certain players who are profitable to play against and you always know when they recognise you - they disappear!
