I usually play most of the day as I am home all day. I do enjoy the game and do play as much as possible. Good luck to all!

On average, I play 4-6 hours a day. On weekends I can play for 8-10 hours. I think I play about 30-40 hours a week, which I think is a lot of time.

The casino has no windows on purpose and no clocks hang on the walls. You must keep track of the time yourself. It's even bad for your health to play for so long. The more so that the longer you sit, the more you get tired and think badly.

Nicely said !

usually 3 hours a day I play, already at night after work, in my opinion the time you use to play poker should be one where you feel comfortable and confident to play, because if you play against the rushed time you will not fully play your hands, take the time you want and plan it well so that it doesn't take away your daily activities in life, enjoy the time with your dear series, don't return to poker as an obligation but as a hobbit or a way to have fun..... Yes in your case you want to live from poker, just plan it well and study enough to be more prepared when playing and to be able to live from this beautiful game. Take care of yourself.
Sometime I would take daily activities away to play not the right way to do it ! Your right you should play with no rush and relax that's the fun of the game and if you play to munch you will get more impatient if you lose and you tend to play more tournament and you thing you will win the next or the next one and it's not the way it work! I certainly like that advise !:)

I am trying to put in a lot more volume these days. I wake up check out tournament selection on a few different sites, if I don't see anything right away I want to play I usually grind low stakes cash games or watch some BlackRain79 videos until the tournament schedule begins. 3-5 hours in the new year.

I find that I start getting tired around 4-5 hours of play.

That's typically the length of time I'll play for in the evenings. Any longer and my concentration starts to lapse and my game starts getting worse and worse.

Also, I find my eyes start to get strained staring at a screen for that long (after usually spending all day on a screen for work too) so that doesn't help. Suppose that wouldn't be quite as much of a problem at actual live tables though.

No more than 3 hours but.

No more than 3 hours because of my quality game is not strong enough. I think that i need a better plan for playing tournaments. Nothing its easy.
