I like playing poker but I don't think I'll become some kind of a pro or make living on poker. I'm a just a hobby player. Once I played for about 20h straight but now it's about 1-2 hours per/day at max

I spend a little time in poker, but I think that if you know how to play well and spend a lot of time in poker, you can win good amounts of money, but for this you need to have a normal bankroll, a lot of time, a lot of patience and good playing skills and you will get good results and good winnings!

3 hours

In the past I used to dedicated 3 hours a day playing poker and studiying poker but now I go to university again so I just can dedicate 2 hours to play and study poker. I would like to dedicate more but now I guess it is ok.

Hopefully in the future I could spend more time playing poker and doing what I really like and hopefully improve my game and earn money from this amazing activity

I do not have the exact time I spend playing poker. It was more hours a day before and now perhaps an hour.

At the moment, poker is just my hobby, but in the future, I dream of becoming a professional player and earning it for life. I give poker about 3-4 hours a day, but due to New Year's holidays, I'm not playing poker at all, and I'm giving my free time to family and friends.

I wonder sometimes if I play my hobby to much:0) I feel the computer makes it to easy to jump in one thing and into another rather its a table or a tournament. I am a stay at home dad that loves poker:0) I am trying to learn to become a decent poker pro one day.

Poker is my hobbie and I spend about 1 to 4 hours a day playing poker. I do like to play live poker also, but I haven't had time in the past couple of months to play live poker. I love to play both online and live. Poker is a great way to spend your free time.

Lately have only been playing about 2 times a week because I have family issues. I usually have a decent stack I want to double up and leave, but most people complain about the hit-and-run so I try to play a little more before I leave happy.

Right know is just a hobby. But i`m in vacation so i`m dedicating a lot of time into getting better, i`m watching a lot of videos (hand analysis, advanced tutorials). I`m taking notes of everything, i`m reading books (especially the ones that talk the part of the mental game, that i consider my extremely weak side). So hopefully i can stop to suck one day lol.

It depends, sometimes I play 10 to 20 hours a week, then I do not play at all for several weeks. It depends on work and family, after all it is just a hobby.

It depends a lot, when I have conditions to pay to play online I think I spend 8 hours of the day playing but I do not have cash in the box.

I've been playing poker for money for the third year. I give the game 5-6 hours a day and usually spend 3-4 hours on training.
