Playing times

a-k-47

Just curious as to who plays full time and part time.

i probably play 20 hrs a week..im sure some of you can treble that

I play between 10 and 20 hours a week. I work a full time job that is extremely well paid, so my poker time depends on:

1. Whether i can ditch the g/f for the night
2. Whether I'm up at 7:15 the net morning
3. How tired I am

I used to play all STTs and MTTs. Now i'm playing low blind NL cash games, as it means i can come na d go as I please rather than beinbg restricted to tourney schedules. Still play the odd MTT.

I think I play around 20 hours a week roughly too. But that could rise depending on how full my weekend is, I'd usually play for 3-4 hours a week night and a good few hours at the weekend too.

Just on a side note: I find the weekend to have the most varience when compared to a week night, does anyone else notice this??
Normally with all the fish on-line at the weekend, I either win or lose alot more huge pots to some moronic calls and suck-outs. Has anyone else experienced anything similar. I'm just trying to see if it's my style somehow changing at the weekend or is it just the increased number of fish...... I'm thinking I become too aggressive against these bad calling stations...

exactly what I did. Drop TV, replace with Poker, if only there was a way to combine the 2:D But unfortunately I'm just too lazy to move the computer into the sitting room :mad: :mad:

it's a life changing move. I have a more active life than anyone i know but i still play a ridiculous amount of poker. Down with the idiot box. YARRR!

Exact same as myself as well. Dont really watch any tv anymore other than dvds and the odd sipmsons/malcolm in the middle/scrubs episode. Watch eastenders when im with the gf sometimes. Just put PPP and VC on her laptop so i now play in her house as well as they have wireless now. Means i dont have to abandon her to play hehe.

Ste, download winamp and you can watch tv while playing poker. Hudnreds of stations on winamps tv from movies to porn/documentaries/cartoons etc etc.

I dont know how much I play tbh, but its not that much. I tend to go through phases...some weeks I would play a load, then none the next week. On average I would guess around 15hrs per week, which isnt much

Yes please do, although, I think I'd need a new monitor for that which would add to

and I'd end up paying a small fortune, cos I'd have to upgrade so I could play 4 tables without overlap too, and while I'm upgrading, might as well throw in a XXXXXXXX, by the end of it all it would probably work out cheaper to buy a flat screen and an extra Sky box, instead....lol

All I really need to do is move some book shelves, and re-arrange some furniture, but who can be bothered...... My excuse to myself is that my game will suffer due to lack of concentration....

:cool: :cool: But seriously go on about this winamp thing - I'm interested......:)

The amount I play varies hugely from month to month. On average I play 3 days a week.

Normally for 3-4 hours on a weeknight twice a week and then anything from 4-8 hours either Saturday or Sunday. Some weeks I'll play more and some weeks I only play one day if at all. Depends on my mood/work/gf commitments/family commitments etc etc

I play between 8-10 hours online per week on average. I would probably average 2 hours live per week - some weeks I don't play live at all, some weeks I play 10+ hours.

if you download the latest version of Winamp, then go > file > internet tv. About 300 free stations at your disposal. No TV card needed

i use it all the time for southpark/ family guy and documentaries.

I played for 4 hours last night for a total profit of €24. So depressing. Last hand i played i got done for $30 by KQs when i called an all in with bullets. He hit a flush on 4th street, was utterly depressing. On the upside i saw a sweet documentary about skull and bones society in yale on winamp tv
