Everyone decides how much they want to play poker, but if you play in a tournament, the tournament can last a long time. But in a regular cash game, you can leave the table after the first hand.

For my part, I play more on weekends, 6-8 hours on weekends, only tournaments, and on weekdays from Monday to Friday, I play 3-5 hours each day. You also have to take into account that it is not recommended to play every day, you have to take breaks in your days of playing poker, you have to give yourself 1 or 2 days off a week. For your mind and body to rest

I don't like having a time limit I play as much as my free time allows

There is no minimum or maximum time, it all depends on the constancy and regularity you have and you think you have earned enough money to retire.

I personally have 3 to 5 hours a day.
It will depend on your bank roll and if you have the time to dedicate yourself to playing, I play on weekends, tournaments between 5 and 8 hours

The minimum time would be between 3 and 5 hours. tournaments are long. you have to have enough time or dedicate yourself exclusively.

Could easily be 10 or more hours. Concentration levels do tend to dwindle the longer I play, so bad and impatient calls often come later in the day (not to mention the multiple bad beats by then).

I can't define this myself, when I start playing poker only something urgent could make me quit :cool:

Currently I don't play much, but depending on whether it makes you feel like playing a minimum tournament that lasts 4 hours... so until I finish it. On the other hand, if I play cash tables, 1000 hands a day minimum

Everyone has their own schedule. I usually play an average of 3-5 hours a day as well. But for the last month, I play very rarely, since there is a war in my country and the electricity is often cut off.

I don't know, it seems to me it is difficult for a tournament player to determine the minimum time for the game, you can play one hour, or you can play 9 hours.

I think it depends if you are a cash game or MTT player. If you play mostly cash game, I think the minimum is 30 minutes and sometimes it's just enough. MTT's you need to have more time, because if you reach ITM/FT it can take 8-10 hours depeding of the tournament.

I think the minimum would be 3 or 4 hours sessions of up to 10 or 12 hours if you are a regular.
