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 pretty much am unable to work right now so I try for a bare min of 4 hours a day at ring. So we're talking 20+ hours although my goal is 30+.

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

normally about 10 hours per week, now that my football season is over I'll probably go to around 20.
Also read up everyday on pokersites at work.

I usually play 5-10 hours of poker a week. I'd like to play more but I don't have enough friends that are that interested in the game.
