I see that after many hours my income decreases a lot and the tilt kicks in

Of course, it depends on what your goals are, but in my case, I play for 1 to 2 hours a day at most. Depending on the tournament, it can of course take longer.
But as I mentioned at the beginning, it also depends a bit on the intentions. Since I don't really play poker professionally, I never get to the point of getting tired while playing.

I usually play about 5 hours. I don't play every day, only when I'm free and I think this is what has helped me not to stress so much with the large number of bad beats

there is no such thing as definitely spending a certain amount of time on poker a day, you can spend the night or make a deposit, register for the tournament and fly out of AA in 3 minutes. and the desire to play further disappears

It depends on the session, if it is a cash game online session I do play for 2-3h max since we play a lot of hands/Hour. If it is an mtt session generally I lunch 2 to 4 mtts and I stop playing when bust out, it takes around 3-6h.

Didn't play much in May. Sometimes I played freerolls in the evening. I think an hour a day on average. I had little time because of my studies: the end of the semester, a lot of student debts. Now that it's all over, I think I'll allocate an average of 3-4 hours a day for poker.

At the moment I'm playing a lot less than I used to and I'm currently playing around 3 to 4 hours, but it also depends entirely on what I'm playing, it can also be a lot more.

Currently it's 45-60 mins a day. Playing my first freeroll in a few minutes so that will be a good experience that I expect will last several hours. I like to take the pressure off...no huge expectations...just play most days but don't overdo it and start making silly mistakes. I also have a family and many other commitments so poker is low on the list, even if I wanted it to be higher up it never could be!

I don't play much poker at the moment. However, this will change soon and I will be playing 6-10 hours as before.

22 to 25 days per month. My session lasts 6-11 hours. It all depends on the success in the game, if there are final tables, then 12 - 15 hours.

I don't play everyday either.

When I play it depends a lot on if I play cash, multi table sngs or tournaments.

I guess on average it's about 1.5 hours on a playday.

Honestly It varies, maybe an hour or two on weekdays, and around 5 hours+ on weekends, depending on if I'm deep into a tournament or not.

If you feel yourself getting tilted on longer play sessions. I would advise taking a break of 30 minutes to an hour at least. And when you sit back down. Just imagine yourself playing the first hand of the day. A fresh start so to speak.

I mostly play MTTs and there is no time limit for those games. I have played 8h+ seesions which usually means that I have a deep run or a final table. But I don't play every day because too much poker is boring for me. :)

I think it depends of the day. On week days, I usually play 5-6 hours at maximum. On weekends I've already played 15 hours straight.

Good night everyone, I started playing poker at the end of 2018, and during that time I was always increasing my playing time, I don't know exactly how many hours a day I play, I believe an average of 6 hours a day.
There are days I play for 10, 11, maybe even 12 hours, when I start playing if the cards are in favor I keep playing, but there are days when everything goes wrong and I take one bad after another, then I stop playing, I know that bad does part of the game more when it happens in a row, I lose focus.
