I play poker approximately 8 or more hours, depending on the tournaments I play or the session I have, but those are the average hours I play during a day, sometimes they are more than those, sometimes less.

For me, I find that playing 6 to 8 hours is enough to play poker

It really varies for me. Most time I only play 1 to 3 tournaments and I aim for shorter games so many sessions for me last 2-4 hours at most. Over the last few years time has been part of my issue. When I do sit down for a good poker session, 8 to 10 or more games is common and 8-10 hours are possible. With kids wife and work its limiting.

Hi:)
If I am on my day off and I am in a good mood, I can play for more than 10 hours, whether in tournaments or other games, but if I notice that I am not focused on playing or my attention is distracted I will stop playing, because I will definitely lose especially in cash games.

It depends on how long I stay in the competition, so it varies. This is only because I usually play on the evening Cardschat freerolls. If you manage to get to the end game, it can be 3-4 hours, maximum.
Those who do it professionally must have a multiple of this quantity and number of hours, per day, of course.

I play every day for around 7 to 8 hours. Depending on the tournament, there are days that last up to 9 hours.

It varies for me, I can spend 3-4 hours on a game and I can spend 10-12 hours. My longest session lasted 12 hours. I play mostly cash games, so I can interrupt my session at any time, go do some other things, and then continue playing again. If I play tournaments, then a maximum of 3-4 per day, maybe a little more, so that I can enjoy and get high from the game. If I treated poker as a job, I would most likely play at least 8 hours a day, but now poker is a hobby for me.

I would like to play only 2 or 3 hours as I don't have enough time to play long 6 or 7 hour tournaments.

I currently play for a few hours around twice a week. There have been times when I played much more poker than this, and long periods when I played no poker at all.

When I sit down and play tournaments, I usually know that it will be a 8 to 12 hour session
Hi :)
There are different days and sometimes there is not enough time for poker. But if there is time, then only in the evenings, after work. I think on average I play up to 5 hours in one evening.

After 3 to 5 hours, when I play longer than that, I already see that my performance is reduced.

On an average day, I spend 1-2 hours playing games. On weekends, this is much more than 4-5 hours.

Sometimes i play for hours every day, other times i dont play for weeks. Depends on mood or what other important things i have in schedule.
I play just in spare time and for fun, so that's very good
