How many hours do you play poker each week?

[chunkbot]

I've been playing lots of freerolls (maybe 3-4 hours a day). It's not really about the money... I just want to build a huge bankroll out of nothing.

 

[paumarhas]

i play a lot, prob 40hr. wk. but i'm not working right now, oh i babysit my grandson. but i catch time in morn, afternoon, eves and especially weekends. and when it's papa's and grandson's tme i play. but it's a rarity when i sit solely at comp, i'm always getting up and doing something, unless i'm in an intense game, which i try to avoid since i play better-minus tension, always good when i'm relaxed and having some fun, but fun for me can also be yelling you idiot at the comp. or who are you fooling you don't have nothin!

 

[cfuerch52]

i play about 30 hours per week

Jesus, do you people have jobs too? 60 hours/week plus posting here plus full time job is insane. Or do people just not sleep. Assuming 8 hours/day of sleep, 16*7 = 112 non-sleep hours. 112-40 = 72 non-sleep, non-job hours. If you commute or work a bit long (I know my parents do both) that's even less, and I haven't even covered eating. Do you guys do anything else?

 

[MrMuckets]

No job, NO life, Just puter stuff.

 

[KevGuy]

well lately ive had alot of free time, so id say about 30 hours. I like to play tournaments so those seem take up alot of time. Is 30 hours of online poker healthy, probably not.

 

[TexasPokerStar]

a lot!!!

it depends... but normally I would put in about 2 hours per day on the cash ring games....

and maybe another 2 or 3 hours on Tournaments....

so about a 5 hour day of poker play...

per week... about 30 hours... I don't play that much on the weekend...

 

[godoy]

I usually play like 15 hours a week
now I'm playing a little bit less

 

[birgolst]

Usually I play about 4h a day, at weekends up to 12h, so I play 40 to 45 hours each week.

QFT, I mean you guys should be raking it in playing these sort of hours. Some evidence of 40-60 hrs weeks would be nice!

Anyways, I play around 15-20hrs/week usually playing min 50k hands/month.

 

[Jazzmaker]

im a college student and iv been playing about 12 hours a week to my max. im wondering for the people who play 40 or 50+ hours a week, is there any thought of making a living off of it?

 

[cexandmoney]

i cant tell you how many hours a week i play but i can tell you that i play in at least 5 turnys a week. but i have 2 jobs and a wife and 2 kids in dipers so my time is limited. and i must add that i only play in freeroles if i think i am going to be short on time or if my state of mind isnt very good.

 

[joos]

about 1-2k hands per day playing 7-9 6 max games or 12 FR games.

 

[feitr]

~10 hrs/week.

 

[Egon Towst]

Do you guys do anything else?

Depressing isn`t it, Zach ?

And the worst of it is that, even though people practice that much, most players you meet are still no good.

Excepting CC members, of course. We are all brilliant obv.

 

[Lockyman]

If i could i would play poker as much as I needed to. But with balancing work and social life. Its around 20. If i didnt have to work, poker would then become my new career ahhhh the dreams of no stress, even when your aces are busted cause you got a mil in the bank

 

[Latvian Queen]

I wish I could play during the day, but unfortunately I am not a pro yet and I have to drag myself out of bed in the morning and work the "system". But first thing i ever do as soon as I get home every day, check for freerolls and spend about 4 hours a day. Weekends are different, I'd say total of 20 hrs or more over the weekend. Dishes are pretty much piled up in the sink for Monday morning

 

[M33K3R]

Anywhere from 20-30 hours a week.

 

[AJRiale]

Well since poker is the majority of my income i play between 40-50 hrs a week. But since that is really sad im gonna start goin to the casinos more with friends and that way i can play less online but still have the money coming in and now will have a life LOL

 

[Woodyspoker]

I play around 15-20 hrs. a week and I am always multi tabling.

 

[jbatesm]

i probably play about 24 hours or more of poker a week. Its an addiction. lol

 

[eagle jim]

4-6 hours per day usually 7 days a week, but I'm only two tabling either 10 or 25 nl. Trying to work up to 8 tables...but 4 makes me nuts right now. Unlike some of you guys/gals I have only been playing for a few months.

 

[kazor]

I think its good to cut back hours if your employed fulltime AND playing 40 hours a week on poker. Thats 80 hours a week. For people trying to play for a profit, 40 isnt much by any means. Its like a job.

 

[Cowboy8112]

I try to play at least 30, but it really depends on.......

1) how busy I am with the ranch

2) how well I am doing. (If I hit a bad run, I take a break)

1 wife + 2 kids + Full time job + hockey + summer time = about 10 hrs/wk
