How many hands people here play in one year, approximately?

I bet nobody play that much that it takes away variance from their game. ;)

Variance is the only certainty we have.

It's practically impossible to count the number of hands that are played in a year. If it were for tournaments it would be difficult, imagine in a year for those who really like the game and play countless tournaments.

I play an average of 3-4 tables a night. I play 3-4 days a week and probably play about 10 months out of 12. It's hard to calculate how many hands I play in a year, but I think it's quite a lot. Although in general, I have consistently positive results.

I have never counted them . Ofcourse when I used to play zoom for one or two days in a row , I noticed that I played far too many hands , who's is to be expected . But specific number ? I don't know . I am not teg to be interested in such details

Sadly not near enough or consistently enough. So I mostly make an effort to play the bigger yearly MTT series on pokerstars and weekend events. With work being on call 24/7 365 days a year, family and a few other hobbies I could use 30-40 hours days not 24 hour days. But such is life.

Cheers!!!

I play only in tournaments, cash games are unprofitable for me. On average, I play 4-5 days a week, and on average I play in three tournaments a day. It's hard to say how many hands I play, but I think there are at least 1000 hands per day.

I'll have to check, but so far I don't know how many hands I'll play in a year, thousands of hands for sure.

Wow that's alot! You mostly play zoom if i recall right?

These days I am doing 20k hands a month (not inc tourneys), so perhaps I could get to 250k in a year.

This year particularly I haven't played too much. I'd say around 70-80K of hands.
That's only 50-60 serious sessions on this year.

I don't count how many hands I play every day, so I won't be able to say exactly how many hands I play per year. A lot depends on my tournament success. The more successful I am in a tournament, the more hands I play. But I think it's logical. :unsure:

The probability of that happening is high, actually. Surely someone has already created a program so that AI can review your game and hand history and improve their performance at the tables.

I never thought about telling. I only know one thing:
It's not enough.

Not enough. Perhaps 20.000 hands. The player pool at the Nosebleed stakes is going south online and I don’t trust GG. I play at PokerStars only. Even at peek hours there will be but shy action beyond NL1000. Doesn’t really matter though. These days job and family give limited time to play.

Could be tens or hundreds of thousands. A hub on the site telling you would be interesting. Also net win or loss on any particular site would be good.
