I think in a lot of cases you'll have to find that out which times are more profitable for yourself given your location, time zone, the types of games you play and even your style of play. I have noticed that weekends tend to have more fishes who are playing for fun and thus will play more hands but there are also some better regs who have noticed this as well and are also looking to capitalize on possibility of extra profits.

Generally I find that so long as you're mentally fresh you can play winning poker at any time of day/night.

I can’t play cash games at all. I quickly lose there. Although I’m still quite green in the poker world)))

Hi.
I prefer MTT tournaments and SnG tournaments. In my opinion, this is a better choice than cash games that are more like casino games.
Good luck.

Hi, I think if you play carefully, the best time for you - it's late at night, because night people support your rates and often are pushed all in.

I don't know about the dog track but at the casino I play at you'll get a lot of OMCs between 12-6pm. Usually those games are softer if you can adjust your style accordingly.

I prefer to play at the cash tables at night ... I usually play in ACR and at night there is more player traffic ... besides I feel more relaxed to play ...!

For me cash game tables, the best time to play is generally between 8 p.m. and 1 a.m. on weekdays, and from 6:30 p.m. to approximately 12 p.m. on weekends.
EU TIME For me it works the best if i play any later i start to get tired and then my playing will be horrible... we don't want that.

Most people get out of work during that time and they might be tired and still play and make mistakes that i can take advantage of.

I would like to know at what time North American's play at

I prefer to play on Sundays after lunch because there are so many more players and many recreational players.

I rarely play cash games, I give more preference to tournaments, in cash games it is very difficult to win something.

I think this is really about trial and error. Granted it really just depends on how generally soft the game is at the venue.... for intense, when I was playing live every day.... I realized that all the older people that played very tight and passively played at the Hollywood during the day.... while at the same time, all the grinding pros were playing at the Ameristar.... so obviously during the day I would go to the Hollywood. The game was softer, and I had a better chance of making money....

But then I realized that during the weekends, the Ameristar became the soft game cause all the rec players want to come out and play in a bigger room.... while all the good players want to go to the Hollywood cause they think because of the weekend traffic there would be more fish to play against....

It took me about a month to really figure out a lagistics system, but once I had it down I was good to go....

Interest Ask. In my experience it's easier to play late at night - many players are tired.

I'm from Russia, so it would also be interesting to know what time most people play poker. But usually I play very late for my time zone (+7), it's from 11pm to 3am

First of all, to define the best hours for skating rinks, you need to look in what time plays most of all people, that is to define traffic peak. Here everything is simple, the more players in online, the higher to find your chances of recreational players. These are people who play poker for the sake of an entertainment, they are also called by "fisham". They do not take a steam bath concerning improvement of the strategy and therefore they will merge money at the speed of light. On their money, actually, all poker industry also keeps. Many people constantly argue on that what players of nationality play worse poker and what it is better, but I will tell you that good and bad players can be met in any world points. Therefore for search of bad players at first nevertheless define time with the maximum traffic.

In my case, such days do not exist. I always lost in cash games and one day I decided not to play anymore. Now I play only in tournaments.

One advantage of playing at dawn is that you will get some sleepy players, and when they are like that, it is easy to win them. Hope this helps.

The best time for a cash game is when many people play, because there are many weak players playing. This is usually after 8 pm, but varies per poker room. Useful statistics (Plrs / Flop) if it is over 30% there are several weak players there.

Depends, Friday nights are always the craziest, I often end up playing super loose and I either win a lot or lose a lot. With my current financial situation daytime is better because the players are predictable and I am less likely to lose anything.
