How many Hours a week do you guys play poker? Be honest now and lets have some fun and see who wins.

I play 21 hours a week on the internet and about 4 hours live(b&M) poker per week.

Thats 25 hrs. per week. I'm sure everybody will beat that!

I think 20 hours a week is a lot, but that's about how much I play

#3 13-05-2005, 7:37 AM

prolly 10 hours a week

#4 13-05-2005, 2:53 PM

75 hours

#5 13-05-2005, 6:00 PM

4 or 5 hours a day online, six days a week. Local game on Thursday nights that goes about the same. So, I guess I average about 30-35 hours. Just think what I could do if I REALLY applied myself!

#6 13-05-2005, 7:36 PM

roughly about 20 hours, would be more if I didn't have a job to go too ;]

grumble: u should have poker AS you work

i've never keep track but if you ask my wife i'm sure she would say, "way toomuch". If i had to quess though, it would be a minimum of about 3 hrs a day online and a home game of atleat 1-2 a month, roughly 25 hours plus

Well its come very close a number of times to getting to that point.

I am saving up a fair bit now and getting a bit hnnnnnnng with my job at the moment, so going to see if I can keep my play consistant for a number of months at a time and I might well make that step some point ;]

#10 13-05-2005, 9:46 PM

I'm likely looking at 15hrs a week or so.

However, number of hours spent thinking about poker a week = ALL OF THEM!

#11 13-05-2005, 10:28 PM

Latly with school my time online has dropped, now it's about 10-15 hours a week, in the summer, I could hit 30, mabey even 40 If I'm playing well.

#12 13-05-2005, 10:34 PM

I'm with Grumble -- this whole "work thing" is really getting in the way of my poker playing.

#13 14-05-2005, 7:11 PM

I'm playin 24 hours a day....8 days a week!

#14 14-05-2005, 8:21 PM

I usually play with a full table game with my buddies 2 or 3 times/week, as well as a couple of online sit & go's per week. I'd estimate between 15-20 hours of poker/week...it would be more if I didn't have school & work.

#15 14-05-2005, 10:31 PM

I typically play 15 hours a week online, and at least 10 hours live. I really like playing live, it's much more personable, and I can take cash from my buddies :-D.

#16 15-05-2005, 12:21 AM

20 hours for sure

#17 15-05-2005, 12:26 AM

i don't play as often as you guys becuase i'm still a student but i still manage a solid 20 hours or so a week

#18 15-05-2005, 3:36 AM

I spend 2 to 3 hours after work and my lunch hour every day Saturday at least 8 hours and sunday 6 hours so its abut 35 hours a week. thanks i didn't need to know that and don't tell my wife

#19 15-05-2005, 8:39 AM

At least 14-16 hours a week Id say, and about 5 hours in live games

#20 15-05-2005, 10:09 AM

Hells Bells. I have got to get a life. I have got the next 7 days off and am about to start a Victorian chhamps freeroll. I'll let you know at the end of the week,but it's going to be sad

Grumble but its good to have a second income for ur poker habit.Never quit ur job unless ur sure of yourself that u can play poker for a living and it pays urs bills and keeps a roof over ur head.And especially the phone bill or cable bill so u can still play online.

#22 15-05-2005, 10:43 AM

10 hours

#23 15-05-2005, 2:05 PM

40 hours maybe more, its too addictive

especially when u make money

(most of the tiem)

#24 15-05-2005, 3:35 PM

i play about 4 to 6 hours a day on line and in the garage friday saturday and sundayso somewhere between 20 and 30 hours a week

#25 15-05-2005, 5:03 PM

I play about 8hrs a week online and every 2nd weekend in homes games. I played in the casino for the 1st time last weekend and lost $5.00 after about 4hrs of play, some old guy hit runner/runner on me 3 times including back to back, that is when I left on full tilt. The wife says that I play too much but we are tracking my win/loss so I can prove to her that I am ahead of the game. I'd love to play more but that damn work keeps getting in the way.

#26 15-05-2005, 5:19 PM

I play about 40-50 hours a week. Depending how long I last in the tournaments I play.

#27 15-05-2005, 5:40 PM

All day, each day on the week-end , maybe six hrs combined during week. To much tv to watch then.

#28 15-05-2005, 5:47 PM

Prolly 15 hours. Play one tourniment a week live and a few online a week so to kind of totals out.

#29 15-05-2005, 5:56 PM

20 at least..im a poker addict!

#30 15-05-2005, 8:11 PM

If I had to sit and figure it out, I'm sure I would be sick (online anyway). Live games, my wife and I try to get to the local poker room 2-3 times a month.

#31 16-05-2005, 2:04 AM

i play around 2-3 hours a day usually during the week. so roughly about 15-20 hours a week.

#32 16-05-2005, 3:02 AM

think I average about 20 hours a week. Some days I don't play at all but o m days off from work I play a lot.

#33 16-05-2005, 4:36 AM

i play poker an hour a week and an hour on the weekend.

#34 16-05-2005, 3:28 PM

Depends on the week. As little 10 but as many as 60 or 70. It probably centers on 20-25. Like my definitive answer.

#35 16-05-2005, 5:32 PM

i probably play around 20 hours a week.
