    Default How many hands do you play per day?

    Just curious. Right now I wake up and play for a couple hours until I've got around 1k logged. Then I'll play more later if I feel like it. How about you?

    2 tables x 2-3hr sessions daily = ~250 hands/day

    ive made a conscious effort to cut back since the more tables i play and the longer sessions i log, the worse my winrate. the above is not much, but optimal for me.

    Looked at my PT database and did a quick calculation and it is 250 hands a day 4-tabling. I have a day job and 3 kids so this is as many as I can do...

    400 - 1200 usualy. 5 tabling FR.
    Experimenting - 200NL 5max.

    Weekdays about 300-500 hands a day / 4-5-tabling.

    Weekends 500-1000 hands a day / 4-5-tabling.

    900 - 1000 a day. I have a day job as well. I don't sleep much. This is actually high, I'm more like 300 a day. Wife is away on biz for the past few weeks. I don't sleep much.

    i don't play every day maybe 4 to 5 days a week. I 4 table for maybe 1 to 2 hours. I would say 250 to 300 hands per days that I play. I have just started 5 to 6 tableing. I work a good day job (on computer all day) and have 2 boys and married, its amazing I get to play that much. Now that schools are out, kids will be up later less play time

    Mine changes massively if my gf is away or out. If she's away, then I will probably play 400-1000 hands 3 or 4 tabling (incorporating ring, SNGs and the occasional MTT). If she's in, then I tend to play maybe 200-300 in a session.

    Importantly, though, I tend to need a good 50 hands plus to get into my groove, so I've gone off sessions where I know I'll only be able to play a short period - I'd rather have 90 mins-3 hours for maximum efficiency (as after 3 hours I get tired or bored more often than not). If I have an hour or so I'm more likely these days to play a couple of SNGs simultaneously, or maybe 5max or 6max IF I think I'll be able to mostly play my A-game (I donk of chips much more rapidly at 6max if I'm not playing well).

    I'm lucky if I get 200 hands in a week. The joys of being a workaholic with no personal life to speak of during the week and having a GF I think a lot of who I can only see at the weekend.

    If it was up to me alone, I'd be playing for about 2 hours a night at about 150 hands/hour
