It depends in what timezone you live if you want to play with a lot of people. But if you want to play with clear mind and be focused, play in the middle of the day if you dont work. Im usualy play in the evening cause i dont have time in the middle of the day. And im starting when im not stressed.

The morning hours for my time zone are not suitable for playing because there are too many regular players in the poker client and too low online. Therefore, I play in the evening when weak players and high levels of online play. In addition, many tournaments are designed for late hours and are not held in the morning.

Unfortunately with the software update that recently occured at ACR they are not in the lobby but I'd imagine they'll return when ACR finally gets all the kinks worked out. The freerolls there occur all day and start when 270 players sign up.

I would say evenings are very productive, because when there are a lot of players online the chances are high to find at your poker table non regular players. As in other tournaments , in freerolls also play a lot of grinders.

Freerolls are always very soft, so it does not matter, when you play them. However if you are going to play poker games, where people buy in and play for actual money, then in my experience the games tend to be softer in the early european morning hours until around 7am central european time.
This is because its evening in north and south America, so recreational players from particularly canada is playing at this time, while many eastern european regulars are sleeping. Volume is also not so high, which might be a further reason, why many regulars dont bother playing.
The worst time to play starts directly after this and is the european daytime hours. Now the canadian recreational players are sleeping, and those in Europe are working, if its a normal weekday leaving mostly regulars to play against each other. The european evening hours are somewhere in between. Volume tend to be highest at this time, and recreational players from Europe are typically playing, but so are most of the regulars.
This is just a generalization, and for cash games in particular its always more important to find the good tables, than when you play. If you can get position on a huge fish, it does not matter, what time of day it is, or how the other tables at the site play.

Of course there are freerolls but a little. You should choose such times of the day when people are at work. Of course if you can afford it.
