Around 3-4 hours a day but sometimes i need a break for 2-3 days which leaves me pretty refreshed and i can come back to it and play much better.

If I am lucky it's about 15 hours a week, and when I 5-table FR I usually am able to get about 275-300 hands in for an hour.

I probably spend 10-20 hours a week. Depends on how well I do. One good run to the money in a $500 bodog freeroll can take 4+ hours alone. So I guess the amount of time spent is directly proportionalte to how well Im doing.

In a normal week it would be like 20 ours.
But it depends on the weekends. Many times I'm not at home in the weekends. Than I play a lillte less.
I prefer playing like 2/3 table at the same time, because than I don't get bored.
So, I make more table ours. (2,5x20=50 ours a week)
It would be more if a would have a bankroll to play with.

During the summer, about 5 hours a day. But when in college, I can only squeeze in about 2 or 3 a day.

I usually play everyday, prolly about 2-3 hours each day. This is online of course. I really need to get out to the casino and play live some more. SO I'd say about 20-30 hours per week depending on upswings and downswings.........

I used to play between 40-60. Now I play around 20-25. But even though I used to play more I've gotten better by spending as much time on here learning as I do playing.

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.

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!

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?

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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

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
