Right now it definitely is not my main focus as I have other priorities in front of it. So around 2-4 hours a day I would say on average

Poker has been just fun for a few years now. I spend max 1-2 hours on it, except when a match lasts longer.
When it was a career, it was 8 hours of play and 1-2 hours of study and analysis.

My biggest grid is on Sunday afternoon which goes until night, lasting around 7 hours of play.

I don't play much these days, but in the past, I spent almost all my free time playing poker, both day and night.

2-3 hours, maximum 3 times a week.Poker is a hobby for me. I probably won't make as much money playing poker as I do at work.

I spend more time than I should , because usually I hit early my daily target at cash games.
If i make more $$ than I should in a particular day , I use those funds to play tournamets (hyper-turbo cause I don't have patience for regular) , and I also like Bounty tournaments , because I can recover some of the buy-in in case I don't make it in to the money.

I'm taking Poker as a hobby. Although I only spent a few hours a week, it teaches a lot of emotional discipline and keeps me positive even on hard days in my life. Honestly i feel like, i have to learn a professionals way to handle all that, cause Poker requires responsible bankroll management and self-control. But yeah, approached correctly, it offers a rewarding blend of entertainment and lessons for my life.

Less than 1 hour per day, and 5-6 hours on weekends.

I don't know that it matters how much time you spend on poker but rather how exactly you use that time. If you spend a lot of time at low stakes or play freerolls you'll see the poker played there is far inferior to professional poker. I'm not sure you can learn that much from those stakes. The poker I notice being played at 1/2 c or freerolls and what I see the professionals play at a 10k high roller- well, let's just say I prefer to watch those guys play. It feels more like GTO poker.

Playing part-time, averaging 3 to 4 hours a day, I can't support myself exclusively with poker, but I intend to. I'm focused on my studies and have plans for next year.

Right now, I only have a few hours a week for poker , mostly freerolls or small micro-stakes games.
It’s just a way to stay sharp and enjoy the game without pressure until I can dedicate more time again later.

In terms of my attitude to poker, I try to treat it like a job, play consistently and work on the game, I rarely do the second

ah, it depends, lately I haven't been playing as much, but I think only 8/9 hours a week, more or less an hour a day.
