I live in England and don't really have enough experience to say which time of day is easiest but I find the early morning hours between 12am to 4am BST are always very profitable.
This is peak time for eastern America, as it will be the evening there, after work for normal day job people.
Perhaps peak time in America has loads of donks because poker is so popular there compared to other countries.

I'm not exactly sure what time of the day is best. Most likely around 8pm EST when most US players get home from work and have eaten dinner (like you said).

I know that Sat. and Sun. are definitely the most profitable days to play. I notice a huge difference in the skill level on these days when most people are off of work. Plus, Sun. is the day of the biggest weekly tournaments on most sites. So, lots of action is going on that day.

Sundays during the day in the US is the easiest and most profitable day by far. Any day can be profitable if the cards fall right.lol

As someone from the UK I find the mornings especially tough for some reason. Not sure whether this is because only those who are dedicated to poker are playing, such as those who play till the 3-4am in America, or I just seem to be sufferering a downswing during morning periods.

Anytime from 10pm seems to be profitable on most major sites, is when there is the most traffic and therefore the most fish.

Morning = Very hard.....

Afternoon / Evening seem alot easier due the amount of people on line.... Get a lot of poor players....

I live in the UK and try and I avoid playing in the morning due to the fact it seems to be alot harder. ;)

Sunday, by far the best day to play...saturdays in the evening is equally good due to the amount of people off from work and school.

An online pro on a trading forum I was attached to had exactly the same view. His nicname was Limey. Not you by some chance?
