This is another question that will come down to personality, how mentally fit you are, your lifestyle, etc. but I have found that unless this is your full time and you are a winning player playing full time, you should restrict the amount you play. It will keeper you fresher, will keep up your desire for the game, will give your mind time to study away from the table, and will generally make you happier overall. During the lockdown I was playing 8-9 hours a day and it was fun for a while and then I got tired of poker to be honest. I still have not got my job back so I still have all day but have cut my playing down to normally 3-4 hours a day and am very happy with it. I cant wait to play now and also feel like I am playing better (maybe I am just getting more lucky lately). I also have an easier time handling bad days and bad beats playing less per day. When you play all day everyday, that is your life so when poker is not going good, you are not going good. When you play a few hours a day you are doing other things so a bad poker day gets shrugged off easier. Again, everyone will be different on this front so I suggest experimenting with playing different amounts but I can say I am happier playing a few hours a day instead of basically playing full time.
