I believe that pretty much any game is going to be better on the weekend than a weekday.

Weekends are the most profitable days, sundays even more, because a lot of recreational players play real money, that makes the moneyshare enormous, so the answer is an absolutely, yes!

Can playing only on weekends be profitable at poker?
Depends on what you call Profit, after all, every cash in a Freeroll is 100% Pure Profit. If you want to make a Living from the game then I would say No, you can not make a Living from the game being a part time player, It takes a lot of hard study and dedication to the game, but if you can play Poker just for the excitement and pleasure the game gives you, it really does not matter how much money you win.
I get a Dopamine rush with every game I play, and I don't care if I win 10 Cents or $100 Dollars Every cash I make in a Tournament is a win in my book!

There are some serious tournaments to consider this weekend, maybe you can qualify through their satellites, that's where the real winnings are

Prize funds are always bigger on weekends. Therefore, in my opinion, weekends are the most promising. As for the profit, it depends only on you, on your skills and experience.

If you work and do not have time and the weekend is free for you it may be profitable if you dedicate enough time to the tables

On the weekends you have more and stronger opponents.
However, if your game is solid, you're rested and in the mood, it can be real nice to play on weekends.

Probably, in principle, there is no special difference on which day to play, you can on a weekday, you can on weekends. Yes, the prize pool is bigger at the weekend, but there are more people playing, respectively, there is more competition. Play when you have time.

Poker is profitable any day of the week. But it's true that on weekends there are very good tournaments with big prizes. So yes, you could say that weekends are more profitable.

Weekends should be easier with more recreational players.

You can also find more games and it should be easier to maximize your $/hr.

Playing only on weekends is of course good, but you can lose the skill of the game and you don't need to play poker all weekend.

Starting from the fact that online volume is what brings the gains. We can say that it would be more difficult. But there are players who manage to be positive with fewer games.

Because the bigger tournaments are in the weekends, we can say definitely that weekend poker is profitable. The most people have a lot time to relax and to play/fun in the weekends, also to play poker. And there are more tournaments then in the different poker rooms. Good luck!

Definitely. Playing during the week adds volume but if your making less mistakes than your opponents generally you should profit, however MTT's have a lot of variance.

Weekends are the most profitable for me. I usually win more on weekends than on weekdays, but this is primarily due to the fact that I have enough free time to play in those tournaments that I like. You can only play on weekends and still be a money making player.

On weekends there are more players, most of them recreational, but if you can't play on normal weekdays for professional or educational reasons, you have to do your best to make as much profit as you want. Good luck

I don't think that your profitability depends on the day of the week, it rather depends on your level of play, so my answer is yes, if your level of play allows it!!!

On the tables I play on, it is MUCH softer on the weekend (especially friday evenings).
