I like to play poker at night, because that's when I can dedicate myself 100%. During other times of the day my concentration is dissipated, as I have to carry out several tasks that take my mind off the online poker game.

Personally, I like playing late in the evening, but not too late into the “brain-off” hours 😄 That’s when I feel more focused, and the tables usually have a nice mix of serious players and a few action lovers who make things interesting.

I definitely agree that the player pool changes throughout the day. Mornings feel calmer and more predictable, while nights can turn into a rollercoaster – more loose calls, bigger bluffs, and sometimes pure chaos (in a fun way).

So yeah, timing really matters. Choosing when you play is almost part of the strategy itself.

The best time is around 9 o'clock in the evening
Being uninterrupted is more important than time.

It depends, but I would say during the morning and the afternoon.

I like to play best in the evening after dinner, I like to be relaxed and not have any stress, of course the number of players doesn't matter as long as the game is a pleasure.

Good morning, everyone. I started playing poker at the end of 2018, so I now have 7 years of experience. In my experience, playing at night tends to be easier for the following reasons: most of the players who play at night have regular jobs during the day and, when they get home, they play just to relax, as a hobby. They are not usually professional players. The professionals typically start around 10 a.m. and grind all day long. That’s why, in my opinion, nighttime games are softer, especially in micro-stakes cash games.

Я заметил, что мои результаты меняются в зависимости от времени суток, когда я играю.
Некоторые сеансы проходят мягче по утрам, другие становятся более интенсивными поздно вечером.
В какое время суток вам больше всего нравится играть в покер и почему?
Считаете ли вы, что состав игроков сильно меняется в течение дня?
Evening from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

I usually prefer to play after 10 PM and up to about 1 AM. By that time all the home tasks are done, the kids are asleep, and I’m not tired enough to go to bed yet. It’s the perfect quiet moment to play — almost like a form of meditation. And yes, the player pool definitely feels more relaxed and unpredictable during these late hours.

My favorite time to play is in the evening and at night. In the morning, I'm too sluggish to play. My mind works much better after lunch.

19:00 local time Greece . Generally n the afternoon. At the worst early at night . Unfortunately most games start late night , and if they are tourneys they keep on untill the morning . Very hard if you work in the morning .

I notice that the evening time develops better.. game in brazil, time zone GMT-3
.. the daytime period in Brazil is where most regs usually play. The night is the most recreational person, so you can explore more.

It does make a difference, especially on GG, which has players from all over the world. My best results are at night. I've never started playing in the morning.

I use to play in the evening cause I'm working in mornings but I know the fact that morning sessions should be more profitable

The day or time of day doesn't really matter to me. But it just so happens that I mainly play in the evenings and at night, because the tournaments I'm interested in don't take place in the morning or during the day.

I tend to play more in the afternoon, but the profitability is higher during the night and night. Without a doubt!

I like playing late at night and on Sundays — I feel like there are more recreational players around, so it’s a great time to play against them. For me, this is the best time.
