I'm playing an average of about 2 hours per day now, but am really playing about 4-6 hours per session and only 2 or 3 days a week.
I really cut back when school started and August has absolutely sucked!

hard to say, i average about 50-60 hours a month... in blocks of 4-8 hours each time.... i have played for as much as 20 in a day (then take 3-4 off).
all i heard in my sleep that was the sounds of cards dealing and the *bing* noise on pp to tell you it is your turn.

The longest I have ever played was latterly all day for like 12 to 14 hours, but on average I’ll play AT LEAST 2 hours a day. I also turned off the damn *bing* on pp, it got on my nerves, I did the same at other sites that have the same future.

I play a 1-2 hour online session. Since I play mostly SNG's. This is about right for my tastes. I love poker, but do not want to get burnt out from the bad beats and such.
What's funny, is on some days (Like Now). I'd rather be here posting and reading than playing poker.
When I play a live game though, people have to practically ask me to leave before I get tired of playing. Go figure.

Usually 1 or 2 hours/day. Usually never more than 3 hours max in one day. I usually run 2 tables at a time so that is a lot of hands in 2 hours. I also feel like my game gets sloppy if I play too long.
I just don't have time to play anymore than that because of work, chores around the house, gym and spending time w/ the wife.
In real casino, I like the all day 8-10 hour sessions and my home tourney usually takes 5-6 hours.

My time is staggered it goes something like.
Mon 5pm to 11pm = 6 hours.
Tues Zero, I see my GF
Wed around 1-2 hours before I see my GF
Thur 5pm to 11pm = 6 hours, sometimes I get sill and play till about 1am, last week 4.30am with that stupid free roll.
Fri Zero see my GF
Sat 2pm - 6pm 4 hours It depends when I get home from seeing my GF but I'll leave at around 6pm to go see my GF 
Sun 2pm - 10pm for around 8 hours or more, unless my GF comes for Dinner then its 6pm to 11pm.
Around 24 hours a week, with another 10 hours thrown in reading poker books and another 20 hours hanging around here/2+2/RGP.

Yeah, I'm usually on about 4 hours on days when I'm not doing anything else. Any more than that and I burn out, unless it's deep in an MTT.

dont know if any ones said it ... but your poll is missing some categories. Some months I play closer to 12 hours a day, this month has been kinda slow, and my money is now all tied up with the retardedness of UB.
