this has prob been done to death, but a quick search threw nothing up so here goes

to those who play as a source of Income how long do u spend playing on an average week?

and to every 1 else, playing for fun, playing to hopefully make money from it later on etc etc, how long do you play on an average week?

thanks.

I play for fun/small profit, I only play for a couple of hours a day, with the odd all dayer when I get a day off.

I worked out that this year I am making $5 per hour so a long way from giving up my day job.

5 days a week.....

7am OK i've got my lucky pants on, gonna be a goooood day, gonna win 10 buyins WOOT!
10am OK well 7 buyins would be pretty sweet imo
1 pm man if i can get 5 buyins up i'm gonna take the rest of the day off and watch movies and stuff
5 pm well like 2 buyins ain't a bad day, just 2 fcking buyins and i could go down the pub
9pm gotta get even gotta get even gotta get even grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
11 pm ffs well I've made like $100 rakeback so if I can just get to being $100 down then i'll have broke even at least
12am HM resets to zero for a new day, kick cat, go to bed, try to win it back tomorrow.

When I was playing seriously a while back I was getting up at 3pm, playing online for about 4 hours before heading to my local casino for the night.  So probably around 12 hours a day, five days a week, which is WAY too much, but at least most of it was live so I was getting out and about a bit.  Sometimes I was even playing online when I got back from the casino at 5am...not good.

Nowadays I have other things going on in my life.  I probably play live maybe once a week (if that atm to be honest) and probably play online about 2 days a week for a few hours.  To be honest it depends on what's going on in the poker calendar really.
