It depends on your game, on weekends the tournaments are bigger, that's to say in prizes. So if you do well you can get a nice prize.

Yes, the big tournaments are usually on weekends, when I'm busy I only do it on Sundays.

It depends on what exactly you're playing. In theory, it may be enough to just play cash games for several hours in a day, but that would be real work and no more fun. Personally, I only play tournaments.

Yes playing only on weekends is profitable if you play only on nuts and be focused properly and don't bluff without any reason and try to win that event

There are a little less games on Sunday evenings: on Monday people go to work, and many go to bed early.

I believe the weekends are tougher.

You have many bigger guarantee tournaments which bring out more "pros" who will most certainly jump into lower buy - ins knowing there will be more

"rec" players to exploit.

Looking from my own experience, I see that most recreational players can be found at weekends.
That's when it's easiest to win something.

During the week more professional players play. When it comes to freerolls it doesn't matter.

There is always a loose game here.

If you play a disciplined game then you can make money on the weekends, though I feel like the more hands you play the sharper you get.

There should be a higher % of recreational players on the weekend, so it should be easier, but it probably boils down to what you are playing.

Poker is always profitable when you win. Regardless of the day of the week.

For many players weekend poker will be more profitable than playing after work in the evening simply because they are not as tired.

It seems to me that on weekends there are a lot more amateurs who don’t even seem to fully know the combinations - unless that’s the only advantage :D:D

Yes, I think poker is more profitable on the weekends because you play calmly without worrying about your daily tasks and the stakes are certainly much smaller

For me it is easier to play tournaments with bigger buyins, like 55, 109, then the small ones, because in small buyin tournaments people play so many garbage hands
