Some tourneys go over 11 hours, by average I guess is about 5 or 6 hours daily.

I've been playing less and less lately. Maybe 2-3 times a week, and as long as I feel like it, usually 1-3 hours.

It varies. When a tournament runs 6+ hours poker becomes a major time consumer. Some days I literally have to say "no" to myself and do something 'more productive'.

Too much, especially tonight with that pokerstars freeroll - assuming I can register for it. Two PLO8 bounty tournaments to play later because I cashed in both last night.

I play microstakes about 2 hrs a day. Even when I am running bad, it is cheap entertainment.

That question would get very different responses from myself and my wife...in her opinion, it's fairly close to 24/7...in my opinion, most days about two hours. I am retired and don't have much of a social life outside of babysitting for my grandchildren as much as I possibly can.

I used to play a lot—about 6 to 8 hours a day—but those days are long gone. Now, I barely manage 30 minutes.

game between 9 days + 1 hour studies closing (minimum 5 hours of weekly studies).
Poker must have a lot of planning to meet the schedule and schedule to be played even if it is not going very well, as we play together in the medium to long term.
I've played about 12 hours a session.
Remembering that you must take mandatory off days for mental relief will be very good for your game.

I play 80% freerolls and satellites. When I succeed, I play more time, but usually 6-8 hours a day are spent playing poker.

Completely depends on the days I am free

Sometimes I can play all day while listening to music, those are my zen days... Very relaxing and peaceful; usually the best days to focus on my games.

On busy days I usually play around 1-2 hours, sometimes more if I find time between tasks.

On losing streaks I just stop playing for the day, sometimes I can be only 30 mins in, I'll feel like bad beats are too often every hand, I end up closing and resting :coffee:

So yes it very much varies how free I am and how I'm feeling that particular day to play :giggle:

I couldn't give you an exact answer. because it depends a lot on how much balance I have in my account and how much time is available during the day. but at least I dedicate 3 hours a day to poker

I can devote 5-6 hours when I have time, but on weekends
I play poker whenever I have time, I play during the day and at night, on average 5 days a week and on average 4-5 hours a day.
