G'day,

I'm interested in seeing just how much some of you play online. I'm not a big multitabler myself (Well I might have up to 2 or 3 going).

Just how many hours a day would you play online ?

I'd probably spend 2 or 3 hours a day fumbling thru a couple of poker rooms, oh how I love getting up at 4 or 5 am (Australian time) to have a go at some of the tournies.

Cheers.

I'll generally play a couple of hours every day while my missis watches the soaps! If I have a day off work in the week i'll play longer, maybe 6 or 7 hours in some deep stacks or just grinding the low SnG's.
I stick to one room through a day though, either Stars or Tilt, unless there is something in particular I wanna play in on party poker (VERY rarely!).
I dont think 2/3 hours is unhealthy, long as your not neglecting work or family. There's got to be a good balance.
My girlfriend went to London for a hen night a few weeks ago and I played for 12 hours straight only stopping to make a pizza. Lol, those days are VEY few and far between though, I have the utmost respect for the guys who grind that much daily!

Freerolls mostly

Chunks of times around 4 hours some evenings during the week and at least one day on the weekend.

If I had some real money I'm sure I'd be a bit more regular :)

He He,

Up at 4.45am to play in a tourney that started at 5.00am and out on my butt at 5.20am. Poker can be brutal but I keep coming back for more.

Good luck to anyone playing in any majors today.

Now, breakfast or back to bed ?

I use to log about 100 hours a week on the computer. Almost all of that was devoted to reading poker forums or playing on line. I have cut back considerably and now only actually play about 4 to 5 hours a day. I also spend more time staking players who are far better than me and riding their horse.:):)

I used play intermittently in term time, been playing poker for 2 years, this is the first summer (mainly from not getting a job) that I'm playing about 6 hours a day. 3 tabling ring games, 2 on sit n go's, maybe 2 sngs with a MTT. Any more tables I think it will adversely affect the amount of attention I can pay to each table, people that 12/16 table etc. I just find mind boggling, can't ever imagine myself doing it.

I generally play around 25 t35 hours per week online.
It is not constant though,I will skip a few days from time to time playing and then play several hours each day.

I play about 5 hours every night. Sometimes during work, I'll play on one computer, while working on another. I am a Realtor and can do searches for clients while playing. Makes the work day go quicker.

I would guess I average maybe 20 hours of online poker a week. But, it comes it spurts. Sometimes I'll have a week where I played 2-3 hours every week night. Then I may go a couple days with out playing. Then maybe a long night grinding some SnGs where I end up playing for 5-6 hours. It all depends how I feel and what is going on in "real" life.
