How much time do you spend on poker?

How much time do you dedicate to poker? Full part time?

 

[Mantinhoo]

Poker is just a leisure activity for me, not work. I don’t put any pressure on myself, I play only when I feel like it and have the time.

Even though I have been playing for over 20 years, I still treat poker as a hobby and a very good tool to improve my home budget.

If this is true, you are obviously doing something wrong.

First you need to learn how to lose correctly, and then you'll just start winning)

I am retired, I play at 888 poker room and only in freerolls. The first one starts at 2 pm and the last one at 1 am. In between, depending on when I drop out, I have shorter or longer breaks.

 

[Pabloro10321]

It depends on the day, on the weekends I play a lot but during the week I only play short tournaments.

 

[fishvolatil]

depends on the day and feeling, but about 6-8h after work, I also try to take 1-2 days off but sometimes some nice opportunities come in the way of that plan

 

[ninocabral]

If you want to become a professional, the ideal is to play for 5 to 8 hours a day.

 

[phuchoidey1]

I think everyone should play when they feel free and just consider poker just a hobby

 

[moraeskvmi]

From 6 to 8 hours a day, when it goes beyond that it's because we're lining up!🤑🤑🤑

 

[Stringy]

currently I'm playing hourly 888 freerolls between 1pm and 11pm sometimes i'm on for a while sometimes I skip 1 or 2 or sometimes i'm too agressive and get knocked out within minutes

I usually spend a few hours each day on poker, depending on my schedule. Some days I play longer sessions, and other days I focus on studying hands, reviewing sessions, or watching strategy content. Consistency matters more than just the total hours.

That's impossible unless you're just folding way way too much.

 

[dompoker]

I play for a couple of hours from time to time, sometimes I'm busy taking care of my grandchildren and I can't play.

 

[caueribeiri]

I usually play part-time — mostly in the evenings after work. It’s my way to relax and stay cool! no pressure, just trying to getsome profits.

 

[HPHHAZE]

Before from morning till evening, nowadays unfortunately only about an hour max a day.​

Quanto tempo você dedica ao pôquer? Meio período?

It depends on the tournament I play, generally 5 to 6 hours a day

 

[bremp555]

For me, poker is definitely more than just a hobby. I play as a professional and my main goal is to make the most money I can from the game. That means I dedicate a lot of time not only to grinding but also to studying, reviewing hands, and improving my strategy. Streaming is also a big part of my routine, since it pushes me to stay disciplined and share my journey with others.

I treat poker like a full-time job because I believe that’s the only way to consistently progress and reach bigger results. Of course, the hours can vary depending on the schedule or the grind of a particular series, but the focus is always on growth and profitability.

I’d be interested in hearing from others who also approach poker professionally—how do you balance the volume of play with study time? Do you find streaming or content creation helps with discipline as much as it does for me?

 

[phuchoidey1]

I play several game a day

 

[Leandro Veiga]

usually 6 to 8 hours a day
