| Well, anyone can respond to this thread, but as a student I wanted to know what kind of hours other part-time players put in and how that works for them. |

| I do anywhere from 10 to 20 hours a week. it really depends on my schedule, and how tired I am after work. It works our alright for me. I would usually like to be able to play a little more, but not too much more. |

I'm moving to part-time hours at work shortly - 4 day weekends!, so will probably aim for 12hrs poker/week. |

10-20 hours. I spend time reading articles on improving as well. In the beginning don't look at an hourly earn rate coz it will make you mad  |
