It seems to me that most professionals play for more than 10 hours a day, I do not know for sure, but in particular, I realized that when I play for more than 6 hours, I start to feel a certain mental fatigue, so I usually take a break, I do not play every day, precisely because of this, however I am recreational, and I think it is normal for me , and you guys how do you deal with it?


Good luck at the tables!

on the day I'm off work I play on average 12 to 13 hours more on weekly days I play on average 5 to 6 hours

For some reason i find i have plenty of time to just play online, either free rolls or not.
It seems the biggest problem is getting off the chair.

It all depends on the mood, but in most cases I play 4-5 hours a day. If I start to get tired, I just stop the game and take a break. Usually the break can last from several hours to several days.

lol hahahaha

3-4 hours per day. Too many hours, and it feels like work...

I play when I have free time, mood and desire to win. Mostly for the weekend.

I play poker for about 1-2 hours a day. I can play several MTT tournaments, and then go about my household chores.

I play tournaments and have not played for more than 5 hours. I don't have time to play a lot.

I would love to make poker a fulltime job. hoping to be able to dedicate 10-12 hrs a day grinding. this is where my passion is and this is what am aiming for

The same for me. Anything more than that and I feel very fatigued. Plus, I do need those 5 minutes of breaks every hour to stand up and stretch, do something that will take me off the chair.

Depends on the day. For example, the days I work I don't have much time but I try to dedicate two or three hours maybe more because I like to play tournaments. Although not every day I can. But on the weekends I usually play around seven or eight hours if I have the chance.

I play 3-4 hours when I first start to play, a bit more in the weekends. Could be that I play 3-4 days in a normal week. It all depends on how much sparetime I have. In the summer it can goes weeks between pokeractions.

I play one main tournament and a few sit n gos. Can be on 5 hours approx or 20 mins.

I usually play 1 long tournament and a few sit n gos. If things go well 4-6 hours. If not 20 minutes

The time of playing poker depends on several factors, it depends on the body's fatigue and mood in the process of a successful or unsuccessful game. If the game in tournaments is positive, then the game time is extended

I play an average of 10 hours a day. really depending on the day after 5 hours of the game, i'm already getting tired.

I sometimes play poker 0 hours a week, and sometimes I'll play 16 hours a day for a few days, if I play multiple tourneys this could happen if I do well in the later registrations, if i played cash games i'd probably play something like 5 hours a day.

3-5 hours

I don't play poker a lot. The longer you play, the more mistakes you make.

i can sit in front of poker for a very long time online all day though if a person plays well a win can take up to 10 12 hours so who wants to win it has to sit there for 10 12 hours

I play 2-3 hours a day.Usually I play couple of tournaments.Dont have a time to play more.

I often play 6-7 hours. I also have trouble if I play longer. I think the reasons are I don't have very good health and have not be trained in concentrating for a long time.

I play every day from 5 to 8 hours and I don't feel tired but I really want to play more.

I try to play around 3 hours in average on a day
I can for sure to play 8-9 but in 2nd part of the session my focus will drop down a bit

I play poker 2-3 houers on a day. Longier playing make me Tired and I make mistakes

A German, Pius Heinz, became the first German to win the World Poker Championship in 2011. After that, poker became a little more popular in Germany. A friend then invited several men to an offline poker evening. I was there. And I've been playing poker regularly ever since.

Whenever I have time, but mainly on weekends (the good part is that the guaranteed mtts are higher in this period)

For me more than 4 hours makes me tired and worsens my concentration. My typical session is 2 to 3 hours.

On weekdays I play for about an hour after work, and on weekends I can devote several hours to this hobby, depending on the circumstances.

A couple of hours but there are sometimes i play all day long if i havent anything to do

Hello. I usually play about 3 hours at night beginning around 8 pm. Weekends vary depending on other things that have to be done. Have fun. Stay Happy!

se você me deixar jogar o dia todo rsrsrs, mas eu jogo em média 8 horas por dia dependendo da minha evolução nos torneios

if you let me play all day, lol, but i play an average of 8 hours a day depending on my evolution in tournaments

When I'm playing tournaments, the length of time I play each day, depends upon how badly I play...lol.

It can take anywhere from 12 minutes, to 12 hours.

I usually last over 1 hour in each tourney I play, because I like to avoid the "all-in fest" that happens at the beginning, especially in low buy-in events.

Also, with tournaments, the longer I play each day, the more money I'm making.

Great way to pass the time for an old retired guy, such as myself.

5-6 hours now mostly night time. If everything is ok and I am in the good mood I can play 10 hours, but average is 5-6.

Hi!I am not a professional and that is why long sessions lead me to complete emptiness.The main thing is to achieve the desired result and again to restore strength.life is a game!Good luck!

It varies quite a bit depending on the day. I find myself playing the most on weekends (obviously).

I'd say I average about 5 hours a day.

4 - 5 hours maybe

Not as much as I would like, compared to a few years ago, now I am a father and with it come many responsibilities, my time is a bit tight, but every time I have a chance, I play until the bell rings and I stop, duty first .

I can play no more than six hours a day, I don’t have enough patience, but I’m working on it

Good morning everyone, I play more than 10 hours a day, when I'm not playing, I'm watching on twitch, players who are profitable and who play with the cards revealed, some nights I wake up and I will play cash games just for fun, all the sites that I played cash game, the natural 8 site, in my opinion is the hardest to win at cash and the easiest is 888poker, plus the Mtts of natural 8 I find it easier than other sites, I was in 5th place in the Dally monster stack, with a fild of 2732.

Not all professionals play 12 or more hours a day, it all depends on the modality they play, if they are mtt tournaments for sure, but in high-entry spin I know that they do karates every 30 minutes and maybe they play 3 or 4 hours since it is much more exhausting and requires even greater concentration and dedication.

4 hours.

minimum game 3 daily sessions.

Weekly about 4 hours. Sometimes twice a week if I have time when there's a freeroll.

I play a tournament a day so hopefully a few hours

This is a game where variance will always exist my friend, sometimes it does not matter if you play for a long or short time, hope you can play more and be successful, good luck!
