It´s for amateurs.
How many hours can you play per day?
It´s not easy to play correctly if I´m tired after work or house job.
Because each person has the limit to decise thing.
Poker requires us to decise each hand (4 times or more).
Therefore, it makes me tired after games.

Find it quickly harder to have patience and make worse decisions after 5-6 hours. So I usually try to play maximum that so the brain is fresh the next day. I love piker so much, but it is important to control the length if you want to win in the long run

My record is probably about 12 hours in a row in the MTT tournament, then I finished right behind the final table. The worst part was I was eliminated AA after so many hours of play, bad beat with lower pair. But that's the charm of poker.

Personally, I can play without losing concentration for 8-9 hours straight. Then I start to want to sleep, because all the main tournaments start after 21:00 in the evening and go late at night. Once in a deeprun I sat until 5 in the morning, took the 4th place and fell asleep barely touching the pillow with my head

I usually play for about two hours.
But, my concentration only lasts for about 45 minutes, so I have to take a break in the middle.

It depends. If I’m playing tourneys, then it could reach up to five hours.

On average I play 2-3 hours a day, but I've played over 10 hours at night in a good tournament session.

I’m usually at my best for a good 4-5 hours. (Not that I’m good). I don’t see how players can grind 10-11 hours a day, I certainly don’t have the brain capacity

I think i can play couple of hours, if i can run good in some tournaments, for sure i can play 5-7 hours for the win. Usually i just try not to play this kind of tournaments with slow blind system, because sometimes in some tournaments you need really to sit and play it for many hours in a row, and if you lost patient even for a few hands you can spent all this time for a cheap prize, and this will not worth it at all.
