Hello everyone.
This weekend I played some party at around 16h gmt, and I figured this could not be a great time to play!
Everyone in the US is waking up or lunching, so I'm playing against european regulars, wich does not sound so great.
I figure the best time to play should be 2AM+gmt.

What is 16hGMT and 2hGMT in the US?
I like to play at night, I think there are more people who are easier to beat. I find that the morning is tigher, but tight is not always bad.

I don't know what they have to say
It makes no difference anyway.
Whatever it is...
I'm against it.

GMT = UTC
ET = UTC - 5
16 UTC = 11 ET
so, just before lunch time of the east coast
2 UTC = 21 ET
(21 = 9pm for you idiots who still don't use the 24h system)

So far, to me, it seems like late evenings is the best time to play and avoid grinding it out. We'll see if that holds true over time...

i find things are toughest at 2 in the afternoon and maybe 5 in the morning, EST. could just be me, but things seem tighter then, especially at 5 am.

Any relation to the "Borat" screen names that frequent all the Empire MTTs?

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

can't tell whether this is facetious or not...but I assume it'd be true.

worst time is when everyone is leaving and you have to keep switching tables to avoid being left short handed against tight aggressive players
Borat is an Ali G character, right? I've seen several player names referring to him.

No, Borat is a TV character played by the same man who plays Ali G.
He is a funny TV host from Kazakstan, the more I look at that avatar the more I laugh.

If you play on PP or a skin just look at how many people are logged on at that time. Whenever the number is above like 60,000 then its probably a good time to play.
