On a typical day i average around 5-10 games, mainly freerolls on pokerstars, some SnGs... I sneak in a few from 888 once in awhile but only when im near my computer... Otherwise my pokerstars ipad App is the way i play :)

How many games do you play on average a day?

This can be tables sat at or tournies joined... But i guess it may have been more apprpriate to ask how many hours are spent playing.... But anyone like me playing 8 hours day doesnt want to admit how much time we spend doing something for such "minimal gain" .... But i believe its for the fun, and the knowledge learned... Just like life :)

If i started counting hours id wake up and go to work lol.. So, how many tables/tourneys do you play a day? :)

I use to play only SnG and sometimes cash games. I play at least 2 SnG every time I play (4/5 days per week). If i cash at one of them i play one more, if i don´t cash after the second SnG I simply log off and play the next day and try again. That´s what i do.

I live it! But my goal at the moment is to gain as much experience as possible to be able to take on high stakes poker starting next year.

I dont know but if you play everyday, you be locked to win, you see going well, but a donk win you with trash. so, dont play everyday or will be in an eternal tilt.

I average approximately 3 hours a day, depending n how I'm feeling and if I'm playing MTTs or not (that can really lengthen a session.)

Ive seen hp to 8 hours here a day.... At what point do you consider yourself a professional?.. Amateur? :p

Would you say its time invested or money earned/invested that makes you "professional?"

I'm a poker junkie. I play at least 8 hours a day everyday. Sometimes I think I need help but if its considered a hobby and I'm making money while having fun, I don't see any harm in playing all day.(try to take small breaks for exercise)

atm I play almost 8/9 hours per session (when i m playing so kind of three times a week). If i am playing over the 7° hour that's mean I am running good coz i am still in a tournament.
Obv sometime my session finish after few hours only.

In the past I was pplaying much more regularly, that's mean that I was playing almost all the hours I was awake except for 3 h about lunch time and 3 h about dinner time. I used to be off one or two days per week.

If u grind for a living but even if you dont and grind to earn extra money (and blabla) giving to the game a kind of prefessional approach you end up playing all the time you have (for RB, to cap leaderboards, ect) plus spend the rest fixing your game so reading forums, books, watching videos.

A famous grinder (dont remember the name now) once said: if online poker isnt an obsession for you, means you are not going to crash the game (quite common even for those who dont crash it coz this game may become a disease called gambling addiction)
