I think 3-4 hours are enough, except weekends when i can play a bit more...
But as i am a casual player, it is not mandatory to play every day. It is important to balance work, social life, and entertainment.

I don't think you should play tired in any case, because fatigue leads to loss and frustration. You can play for one hour or 8 hours, it all depends on your desire or inspiration. I usually play 4-5 hours a day.

It’s clear that everyone is playing as much as they like, but I think successful poker players play 8-12 hours instead of a few hours to offset the variance caused by the scatter and so the result comes out.
I don’t remember exactly but in the past Elky had an attempt to play 10-20 thousand hands in X time (maybe 6-12 tables at a time) and it would be profitable. I think he just got away with it for a small profit, maybe.
The example mentioned above isn’t accurate because I don’t know exactly how it was, but the point is that no matter how good or high the variance is in poker and it can be offset by the large amount of play.
Of course, one can find big prizes quickly (for example, sat for a big tournament and fantastic run in this tournament and win ... etc.), but the more common is that success comes with practice and perseverance. Maybe.

This depends on the individual, but I agree with you that shorter sessions are better.
I play for fun/enjoyment and the little bit of "holiday money" poker provides.
I find that by shifting my mindset towards enjoyment/improvement and away from financial results, I can play these short sessions and not worry about "how much more I could be making." This is often an illusion which leads to "the grind."
I try to avoid the grind.

Well said, I completely agree, and I think that only when you enjoy the game, luck accompanies you.This depends on the individual, but I agree with you that shorter sessions are better.

hello. I think it depends on what you want to achieve and what kind of tournaments you play. If you play cash and want to win money, you have to put in a lot of hands and that takes a lot of hours. per day. That's why I play MTT and I can get there in 3 or 4 hours. per day

As long as it takes to become good enough to win. There is a point where do have to say, I just do not have the skill needed to be a winning player, so just have fun with friends. That's where I am at LOL. You can also enroll in a good teaching program like UPSWING Poker if you are serious about poker.

I like doing sessions of 3-4 hours when playing cash games.
That's when I find I'm typically at my sharpest.
I'll do longer hours if playing in a tournament, because as Djon25 said, the longer i'm playing the closer I am to getting the final table
