Work and Poker?

[julio gonzalez]

Hello I don't work that many hours but when I get home I have lunch and at 2:00 p.m. I start playing MTT and I can be playing between 2 and 6 hours

I try to play in free time, especially at night, but it's a little frustrating that you can't participate in some tournaments because of work, the worst thing is when you have to leave a tournament due to work, but hey, there's nothing left for me to know how to manage myself to be able to enjoy this beautiful game.

Unfortunately, I only play on weekends and not every weekend. So I would say I play when I can. I have a very good level but unfortunately I have my responsibilities such as work.

How do you manage time when you have a 10- or 12-hour job and your passion is poker?

I don't play poker

 

[redmast]

I'm retired now and my homework doesn't stop me from playing poker. Especially since I only play in the evenings.

 

[Recreationalplayer]

12 hours a day work will lead to exhaustion..
I don't think I can play poker with 12 hour job. Maybe few hours on weekends for poker passion.

 

[greenlarrow]

I work at work and after work I can play poker. Always as they say + to EV

 

[IRINA70]

I play every day in my spare time and on weekends.

My work schedule allows me to easily combine work and poker. I work 2-3 days a week on average, so the other days I have enough free time to play. But I used to work 5 days a week and therefore only played poker on Sundays, or not at all.

You play SNG which don't last hours. So you only play shortsessions.

It really becomes very difficult, I was only able to dedicate a lot of time to poker when I wasn't working, in order to feel comfortable playing I have to know that I have at least 6/7 hours to play and if I have already worked 12 it is impossible for me due to mental fatigue.

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

I play while I'm at work

Hi,
This is something I struggled with for a long time. Especially that I used to play tournaments, slow tournaments.

Now I adapted and I mostly play quick formats like spin n gos, hyper 6max tourneys and the GG battle royale.

I leave the slow games to the weekends.

Not always easy, especially since I can only play at night, but when there's a will there's a way. If poker is a hobby for you, and I assume it is, never put it first.

 

[flail1]

Heck, I'm retired 4 years and still can't play any more poker than when I worked - too busy with chores and family (not complaining at all lol) but with length of most tourneys, it is really hard to dedicate a long block of time to have a proper session.

I work from home and my schedule allows me to easily combine poker and work. In fact, I almost always finish my work before lunch, and after lunch I can do my own thing. But if my working day lasted more than 10 hours, then probably lying on the sofa would be my hobby instead of poker.

 

[pokerD]

In this case, I think it is possible to play only on weekends or on rest days only in a completely concentrated way.

 

[pltelles]

Difficult to reconcile with this workload, you can play 1 tournament a day or play cash games.

 

[PupsikCat]

If you work 12 hours a day, then it is advisable to play only on weekends.

 

[WrongUsername]

poker is a very very hard work, more hard work than normal work

 

[pep12343]

You can play one tournament a day, and if you have free days, invest them in it.

 

[COMIRRR]

After finishing the program at work, you get home and relax with a turbo tournament game

I'm lucky that my job is 5 hours a day, so I have a lot of time to play poker, for those people who work 8 to 12 hours it shouldn't be easy

 

[whiskers77]

My job is usually 8 hours, but I also had long times when I worked up to 9-10+ hours and had to commute daily 2 hours there and back.
Therefore, I focused during the week to play 1-3 SNGs per day depending on how I was running in them. I also played the FRC games of CC.
And only on Fridays and Saturdays, I played longer MTTs. Around 3-4 times per year, I also added some shots in bigger tourneys on Sundays, when I knew there will be a holiday or vacation on the next Monday.
Working from home-office made things much easier for me since 2020.
